Outlines some of the principles behind air driven aspects of moisture in buildings and illustrates how calculation methods and mathematical modelling techniques may be used to both predict and remedy associated problems. Primary remedies include a reduction in the generation of moisture, ensuring thermal integrity of the building and providing adequate ventilation. The use of dehumidification may also have a role to play. Mathematical models offer an inexpensive method for assessing design ideas at an early stage of development.
