First Paragraph

TO UNDERSTAND MOISTURE PROBLEMS IN BUILDINGS, one must correctly determine the moisture sources. This chapter discusses the major sources of moisture in buildings, the rates associated with those sources, and frequencies of moisture dissipation. Several key equations are presented to estimate moisture sources for unique site-specific conditions.
