Opening with an introductory explanation of the
nature and causes of mold, mildew, and condensation, the book gives specific
advice on heated, cooled, and combination environments, plus a short course in
the dynamics of moisture movement within buildings. Other invaluable coverage
includes:
* clear, detailed
recommended practices for all United States climates
* practices for
cooling as well as heating climates (often, heating climate solutions are
applied in cooling climates, where problems and solutions are completely
different)
* an overall,
systematic view of moisture problems--including how mechanical systems and
occupant lifestyles can create and also resolve moisture problems
* actual case
studies of buildings with moisture problems that illustrate the principles and
practices presented in the book
This detailed,
no-nonsense exploration of moisture cause and effect--as well as its protection
and remediation--will expand readers' knowledge on this crucial subject.
Moisture Control Handbook will be welcomed by building contractors, architects,
mechanical engineers, building science researchers, building product
manufacturers, homeowners, and small commercial building owners.
