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.

ventilation, sunshades, and thermal mass reduced overall energy
use and allowed for smaller
