Condensation issues in houses
Current requirements for certain building types can have a negative impact on airflow in those buildings. It’s more important than ever that builders and designers give thought to potential condensation problems that can arise in new homes and how to mitigate them.
This resource describes what factors cause condensation, such as climate, domestic activities that contribute to raising indoor relative humidity, a large number of people in a building and a lack of ventilation. It also examines those rooms within a building that can be considered at a high risk of condensation problems.
Prevention is always better than a cure, so building practitioners are encouraged to find ways to prevent or reduce the effect of condensation at design and construction stage. It’s also advisable that builders advise home owners of the importance of maintaining good ventilation and air exchange before they hand over the keys to the new home.
A link is provided to the guide Handbook Condensation in Buildings – Second Edition, which offers practical information on how to control condensation.
