Abstract
The assessment of the risk of surface condensation on the walls of Cultural Heritage buildings is crucial, since it has been identified that the analytical method used for new buildings can generate errors in these properties. The objective of this research is therefore focused on comparing the differences in surface temperatures between those calculated by the analytical method and those obtained by the in situ measurement. For its determination, the ambient and surface temperatures of the facade of a historic building have been measured, and heat flow tests have been carried out to estimate the conductivity of the walls. By contrasting the results obtained with the data calculated from the analytical system, it is concluded that this method is not entirely valid for this type of building.

Abstract
One of the most common issues in brick masonry walls of Cultural Heritage buildings is the deterioration caused by rising damp through capillarity. Traditionally, these walls have been coated with air lime mortar, but hydraulic lime mortar with additives is now being used to improve drying in cases of capillary moisture. This experimental study aims to identify the behavioural differences between air lime and hydraulic lime coatings with additives in terms of moisture absorption and drying. Tests were conducted on brick and mortar samples coated with both types of mortar. The results showed that the samples treated with hydraulic lime with additives absorbed less water and presented a better visual appearance than those coated with air lime, despite having similar water content. This study contributes to selecting more effective materials for the preservation of historic buildings affected by capillary moisture, improving their durability and aesthetic.
