The Moisture Control Handbook is an excellent
reference book for builders, and a must read for those involved
with inspecting, repairing, and restoring building envelopes
In the climate-controlled buildings of today, moisture problems affect
not only the useable life expectancy of the structure, but the comfort
and health of the occupants. This reference is the first to apply
up-to-date moisture control and treatment techniques in a problem/solution
format. Opening with an introductory explanation of the nature and
causes of mold, mildew, and condensation, the book gives specific
advice on heated, cooled, and combination environments, plus a short
course in the dynamics of moisture movement within buildings. Other
invaluable coverage includes:
- Clear, detailed recommended practices for all United States
climates
- Practices for cooling as well as heating climates (often, heating
climate solutions are applied in cooling climates, where problems
and solutions are completely different)
- An overall, systematic view of moisture problems-including how
mechanical systems and occupant lifestyles can create and also
resolve moisture problems
- Actual case studies of buildings with moisture problems that
illustrate the principles and practices presented in the book
This detailed, no-nonsense exploration of moisture cause and effect-as
well as its protection and remediation-will expand readers’ knowledge
on this crucial subject. Moisture Control Handbook will be welcomed
by building contractors, architects, mechanical engineers, building
science researchers, building product manufacturers, homeowners, and
small commercial building owners. 232 pp.
