Temperature and Moisture Control in Mid-Century Homes
Manage episode 502882982 series 3277149
Temperature and moisture control in mid-century houses is one of those topics that seems less exciting and relevant until suddenly…it is.
And while our mid-century houses have the potential be properly snug without being too sealed up. They also sometimes need a tune up. Plus a number of trendy, seemingly “esthetic” changes to your house - siding, soffit, or roof changes - can create problems that didn't exist before. We’ll definitely cover the moisture consequences (yes, that sounds icky) of painting brick and adding vinyl siding.
This catchall episode contains a number of lessons in building technology and the broader concept of thermodynamics that have me both reaching back to my graduate school architecture education and sharing some of the most important considerations about moisture control in mid-century homes.
In Today's Episode You'll Hear:
- Why you should be on the lookout for evidence of moisture issues.
- How to tell if you have a “warm” or “cold” roof.
- Who to call for testing and answers related to temperature and moisture control.
