Moisture movement by air leakage (the exfiltration
of interior moisture - laden air during heating periods and the infiltration
of exterior moisture - laden air during cooling periods) is controlled by limiting air leakage openings, controlling the interior levels
of moisture during heating periods by utilizing controlled
ventilation (dilution by air change) combined with source control (direct venting
of clothes dryers as well as the use
of subgrade vapor retarders under concrete floor slabs and bath and kitchen exhaust
systems), controlling the interior levels
of moisture during cooling periods by utilizing the dehumidification capabilities
of mechanical cooling
systems, and limiting controlled
ventilation to minimum values established by indoor air quality concerns.
