Description
Summary:	Moisture transfer is one of the most important factors related to the energy performance, indoor quality, and maintenance of buildings. HygroScope is a simulator that takes into account the moisture transfer mechanisms, the wall configuration, the construction materials properties, and seasonal meteorological data for the region and calculates the seasonal wall moisture content along with the corresponded equilibrium moisture height. HygroScope is an application developed under Visual Studio 2005 using the C# programming language and consists of three units: the database, the mathematical model library, and the graphical user interface.
