Abstract
As a speaker and coordinator of NRC Building Science Insight (BSI) 2003 Seminar Series1, the discussionswith the participants - whether in the formal part of the seminar or during the breaks - were alwaysenlightening about something, e.g. characteristics of the local climate, overwhelming pool of technicalinformation available on the internet, uncertainty about performance of certain materials in certainapplications and challenges in making the right decisions for the project and budget. Here is a collection ofa few nuggets of observations and questions brought up regularly in the discussions about heat, air andmoisture (HAM) flows in exterior walls with the associated risk of condensation.
