Moisture in the Walls of Timber-Framed Dwellings
This paper reports recent investigations carried out by the Princes Risborough Laboratory of BRE into the moisture content of external walls to occupied timber-framed houses. The effect of moisture on the structure of this type of house is discussed and the results of two surveys are given. The effect of additional insulation on the moisture content of timber members (via increased interstitial condensation) was investigated as was the effect of year-to-year climate. For the former, evidence was conflicting, other factors having more influence. The results of the latter showed considerable uniformity from year-to-year regardless of climatic variations.
