Mathematical Analysis of Practices to Control Moisture in the Roof Cavities of Manufactured Houses
This report presents a mathematical model to simulate the performance of a double-wide manufactured house constructed in compliance with HUD Standards. An interior vapor retarder was installed in the ceiling construction and ventilation openings were installed in the roof cavity consistent with HUD's 1/300 Rule. The effect of passive and mechanical ventilation, as well as a wide range of other factors on the roof sheathing moisture content was investigated as a function of time. The weekly average moisture content of the lower surface of the plywood sheathing was analyzed in several cold climates, while the relative humidity at the lower surface of the ceiling insulation was analyzed in a hot and humid climate.
