ABSTRACT: The location and nature of the moisture leakages are sometimes difficult to detect. Moreover, the
relation between observed inside surface moisture patterns and where the moisture enters the
construction is often not clear. The objective of this paper is to investigate inverse modeling techniques
as a tool for the detection of moisture leakage locations in building constructions from inside
surface moisture patterns. It is concluded that although the presented methodology is promising,
more research is needed to confirm its usability.
