Drying
Up one levelA durable and healthy building must balance the wetting that inevitably occurs with the same amount of drying to avoid accumulation and certain failure over time. Different climates and different assemblies offer the potential for vastly different quantities of drying.
Drying by drainage, surface evaporation, diffusion, air flow and ventilation can all be employed to provide the drying required. However, enclosures and building systems must be carefully designed and properly constructed to ensure this drying occurs without compromising the many other functions of the building and its enclosure.
