| Abstract: | An investigation was initiated to evaluate and categorize problems of excessive or insufficient moisture in weatherized homes and to recommend changes to procedures or field actions as required. After a description of the properties of wood, its relationship with moisture, and its deterioration, the state of the art for moisture control is reviewed, relevant case studies are provided, and areas for further research and field study are recommended regarding the current construction practices and building codes in use. It is found that moisture problems can be controlled by controlling moisture at its source and by providing the proper ventilation. (LEW) |
