Cold spots in a heated house and a lack of airflow seem to cause mold. The temperature difference causing condensation, excess moisture with nowhere to go and then mold.
Interesting whether this would happen in an entirely unheated building.
- Ekaros 5y agoI suppose it depends if there is some types of poorly placed barriers. In structures that can breath readily and in climates where they can dry it is less of an issue. On other hand those also need to in general be protected from water in structures.
- c22 5y agoIt does if it experiences any kind of a diurnal heating cycle from the sun.
- pchwalek 5y agoA lot of that is due to structures not having a proper vapor barrier, therefor allowing vapor exchange from the outside world which decreases in-wall condensation.
