- Abstract
- Moisture condensation in insulated walls will occur under certain conditions. This paper discusses these conditions in a general way and makes available to architects, builders, and others, information cconcerning factors which control humidity in walls. These factors are presented so as to make possible estimates of the probability of moisture condensation in walls of dwellings if the factors governing it such as design, structural materials, construction details, and moisture conditions inside and outside the building, are known.
