Thursday, April 30, 2009  ·  8:30 AM - 10:10 AM

The most common agent for durability and indoor air quality (IAQ) problems is moisture. This session will present the framework for understanding moisture in buildings, beginning with the primary moisture sources and their relative importance. Explore moisture transport mechanisms and how they work.

 

By attending this session, participants will

 

1. Be able to identify the primary sources of moisture sources in buildings
2. Understand the mechanisms of moisture movement and their relative importance
3. Become proficient with the idea of moisture balance for new design and retrofit
