Symposium on Condensation in Exterior Building Wall Systems
San Antonio, TX
10/10/2010 - 10/11/2010
Building envelope systems today include air, vapor, and thermal insulating materials that were unavailable, or in very limited use, just a few years ago. Design of condensation control today has been aided greatly by recent advances in computer simulation modeling; nonetheless, condensation problems occur with ever-increasing regularity. Lessons learned from missteps should guide future material and building systems design to improve the resistance of building envelope systems to the damaging effects of condensation.
