| Abstract | The appearance of surface condensation is attributable to two possible conditions. 1. Increase in moisture content of the space. 2. Decrease in temperature of the wall surface. While it is not possible to rule out completely, in any given case, the possibility that the humidity in Alfol insulated houses may be higher than in rock wool insulated houses, sufficient evidence is presented to show that the surface temperatures on Alfol walls are sufficiently lower than on rock wool walls to explain the occurrence of condensation in the majority of cases in question. |
