Biodeterioration symptoms of external part of buildings (numerical value of deterioration in a 4-point scale).
a) capillary rise of groundwater; area adjacent to the building covered by concrete rubble mixed with soil (3– intensive changes); b) door colonized by algae and cyanobacteria, mosses and lichens on the ground (2– moderate changes); c) concrete rubble mixed with soil, colonization by algae and mosses (3– intensive changes); d) colonization by lichens and mosses, horizontal moisture insulation damaged (3– intensive changes).

Biodeterioration symptoms of internal part of buildings (numerical value of deterioration in a 4-point scale).
a) the middle part of building, damages of the floor (3– ground floor: intensive changes, 2– walls: moderate changes); b) block master’s room and storeroom, damages of the wood floor, algae and cyanobacteria colonization (3– ground floor: intensive changes, 1– walls: small changes); c) bunk bed partitions, bulging and crumbling plaster (3– intensive changes); d) damages of bunk beds board caused by wood-decaying fungi (2– moderate changes, locally).
