Tests show that saturation of insulating material in year-round air conditioned building resulting from moisture condensation may be prevented by locating single vapor barrier inside insulation material where temperature is always above dew point; other alternatives are ventilation of wall, providing drain system below vapor barrier, or providing system of controlled ports so that warm side of insulation can be made vapor tight while cold side is allowed to breathe.
