Investigation of the Effectiveness of Current Provisions for Ventilation of Cavities (Wall, Floor, Roof) in Housing. Main Report
The report is the final report for the TRADA research project carried out to investigate the effectiveness of current provisions for ventilation of cavities in domestic buildings. For the purposes of the project the building elements where cavities may be found include: roofs, both pitched and flat, where the cavity is between the insulation and the external weatherproof layers ('cold roofs'); timber framed walls, where a cavity may occur in two places--between the insulated timber framed stud wall and external cladding or between the insulation and the structural sheathing of the wall panel; in current timber frame housing the latter is typically fully filled with mineral fiber insulation; and suspended timber ground floors, where the cavity is between the ground, or any ground cover, and the underside of the floor. Ventilation of such cavities in buildings is required to avoid problems of condensation of excessive moisture build-up. (Copyright (c) TRADA 1990.)
