States that the higher internal humidity and lower structural temperatures in UK timber frame houses, as compared to the US and central Europe increases the risk of interstitial condensation. Condensation risk has also increased in all countries because of energy conservation measures and changes in heating patterns, occupation density and moisture production. Gives recommendations for the prevention of interstitial condensation.
