Table 12: Analysis of the results for facade elements/claddings based on the new inter-defects correlation matrix considering diagnosis methods. the cladding or equal to or thinner than 0.2 mm in a very large area. In Level 4, they can be wider than 0.2 mm in a very large area of the cladding. Both groups of defects can be present when severe degradation occurs in ETICS, depending on the intensity of the defects and the affected area. [PERSON] et al. [53] use a five-level scale from Level 0 (Unchanged) to Level 4 (Generalised degradation). As for painted facades, the severity implicitly associated with the degradation levels for defects by [PERSON] et al. [54] may be used. Of the mentioned set of defects, these authors take into account \"A-A2 Surface moisture\", \"A-A3 Dirt and accumulation of debris\", and \"A-B1 Biodeterioration/biological growth\", which are considered within the scope of \"stains/colour change\". \"A-C1 Mapped cracking\" is also taken into account as \"cracking\". Both for stains/colour changes and cracking, in Level 0, there should be no visible degradation. Stains/colour changes are classified from Level 0 to Level 4, considering the intensity of change and the type of visible signs of defects (Figure 3). So, in Level 1 (Good condition), only slight or little perceptible uniform surface dirt should be observed. In Level 2 (Slight degradation), moderate or quite perceptible uniform surface dirt may be observed. In Level 3 (Moderate degradation), moderate or quite perceptible humidity stains, biological growth, and localised surface dirt may be observed, or high or very perceptible uniform surface dirt may be observed.
