	moisture
		The use of sheet moisture barriers, although common practice in wood construction, runs counter to successful historical building practice and generally accepted current practice, is unsupported by either empirical or test data, and is not required by straw-bale building codes.
		Moisture can enter and exist in walls in two forms: liquid water, such as might come from a leaky window; and water vapor, which is water suspended in air.
		Moisture within a stud wall is commonly led along a few passageways within the wall: air channels, eddies and backwaters within cavities direct vapor laden air; and solid wood elements working with gravity concentrate the movement of water into certain limited areas within the wall.

		Moisture migration in buildings is highly complex and depends on a variety of factors, including the climactic conditions where the school is being built.

		Excess moisture can be in the form of high relative humidity including humidity generated by people and their activities such as showers, cooking, or drying clothes.
		It is also important that the roof and attic design addresses the issue of moisture in the form of water vapor to avoid condensation in building cavities.
		The important considerations are preventing movement of moisture from the warm side to the cold side of the building envelope, and managing moisture which does pass through the envelope to prevent condensation on building materials.

	Holding the Line: Controlling Unwanted Moisture in Historic Buildings - Oldhouseweb.com
		Finding, treating, and managing the sources of damaging moisture requires a systematic approach that takes time, patience, and a thorough examination of all aspects of the problem-including a series of variable conditions.Moisture problems may be a direct result of one of these factors or may be attributable to a combination of interdependent variables.
		Moisture is notorious for traveling far from the source, and moisture movement within concealed areas of the building construction make accurate diagnosis of the source and path difficult.
		Moisture should not be sealed into the wall with a waterproof coating, such as cement parging or vinyl wall coverings, applied to the inside of damp walls.

	Moisture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moisture generally refers to the presence of water, often in trace amounts.
		The moisture content is often an important aspect of various foodstuffs including cheese and many dried goods such as tea where excess moisture can promote bacterial growth, decay, molding, or rotting over time.
		Excessive moisture can also cause rot in wood or other organic material, corrosion in metals, and electrical short circuits.

		Relative humidity relates the actual amount of moisture in the air (in the form of a percent) to what total amount of moisture could be held in the air (That means it is also a ratio!).
		Precipitation refers to all different kinds of moisture that falls from the sky: drizzle, rain, snow, ice pellets, hail and ice crystals (whether they contact the ground or not).
		Icing occurs when an aircraft flies through visible water and the temperature at the point where the moisture strikes the aircraft is 32° F (0° C) or colder.

		Effectively controlling moisture requires careful planning at all stages of the building process, from architectural design and materials selection through the construction process to a lifelong practice of consistent, thorough maintenance.
		While it is important to control moisture exposure within the building, there are certain areas where it is clearly essential to use water-durable products, such as tub and shower areas, swimming pools, and kitchen counters.
		When moisture is introduced, such as through wet cement and painting, maintain ample ventilation and use special drying equipment where needed.

	MOISTURE
		If the air temperature falls any lower, some of the moisture that is in the air changes from vapor to either liquid or solid.
		This gets rid of the moisture and saves energy that would be needed to heat the incoming outside air.
		We must control the moisture in the inside of our homes by using vapor barriers to prevent insulation and other home damage.

		Moisture problems in school buildings can be caused by a variety of conditions, including roof and plumbing leaks, condensation, and excess humidity.
		Moisture problems in schools are also associated with delayed maintenance or insufficient maintenance, due to budget and other constraints.

		Moisture problems within a house that show up as condensation and/or frost on windows in the living area, can result from dampness in the crawl space, or from inadequately vented living space.
		Moisture problems in crawl spaces may be due to the construction of a crawl space in an area of high water table, improper grading of the lot for drainage or the omission of moisture control devices such as vapor barriers, ground cover and ventilation openings.
		As moisture is released in a house, it moves to all rooms by natural air movement or by forced air movement from furnace or air conditioning.

	memerase Moisture, Permeability and Mold
		However, if deficiencies in the design, construction or maintenance of a building, or other circumstances, allow liquid or vapor moisture to accumulate in a wall or wall cavity, vinyl wallcovering can act as a vapor barrier restricting the escape of moisture and increasing the risk of mold growth and other building damage from trapped moisture.
		In all cases, moisture and sources of moisture accumulation must be corrected before installing any wallcovering.
		Building maintenance must include those actions necessary to prevent the development of moisture accumulation sources as well as routine inspections for and immediate corrective action if moisture accumulation is found in a wall or wall cavity.
