Studies show that stucco cladding with low liquid diffusivity and high water vapour permeability can positively influence the overall moisture management capacity of wood-frame stucco walls. For this reason, the NRC Institute for Research in Construction (IRC), in cooperation with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), is working on a project to improve the performance of stucco cladding by modifying existing mix designs and testing new materials.Des \ue9tudes d\ue9montrent que les rev\ueatements ext\ue9rieurs en stucco qui pr\ue9sentent une faible diffusivit\ue9 des liquides et une perm\ue9abilit\ue9 \ue0 la vapeur d?eau \ue9lev\ue9e peuvent influer positivement sur la capacit\ue9 de contr\uf4le de l?humidit\ue9 des murs \ue0 ossa...
