The authors take the historic centre in Portugal as a case study. In this paper an extensive survey of building typology and materials, indoor and outdoor building damage, is presented along with measurements of indoor air temperature and relative humidity. High humidity and presence of mould have an incidence on indoor quality of life for the inhabitants.
