Air leakage, ventilation, and moisture control in buildings.

Discusses the possible effects of wind, stack effect, vents and fans on air leakage, and the influence of air leakage openings and the location on the pattern of air flow through buildings. Considers the possible extent and location of condensation in relation to these patterns, as well as methods of controlling moisture entry and removal of accumulated moisture. Advocates development of construction details, techniques and standards to ensure airtightness in buildings and building components, as the primary acheiving energy conservation through improved building performance and extended service life.
