In recent years, the aspect and behavior inside a bathroom and an appurtenant changing room havebeen changing. With these changes, the thermal insulation quality of a dwelling has improved, so itseems that the amount of moisture generated in a dwelling has changed. In this study, amount ofmoisture produced in a bathroom and a changing room was surveyed in order to grasp the thermal andhumid environment in bathroom and a changing room. From the result of the survey, it was found thatthe amount of moisture in bathing was bigger than before. It was considered that the amount ofadhesion moisture was depended on the way of bathing, and the balance of exhausted moisture byventilation and remaining moisture in the atmosphere was depended on of ventilation rate. The surveywas conducted in two different size bathrooms (12001600, 16001600). Influence of a bathroom sizewas deliberated.
