Abstract	Today, houses are insulated and tightly built to keep cold outand heat in. But by building in this way, the escape of excessive moisture is also prevented. Older houses were more loosely constructed; walls were relatively porous and not insulated; moist air and heat leaked outside. There are ways to keep the heat inside and also control the destructive moisture. Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. When warm moist air comes in contact with cold windows, walls, water pipes, and toilet tanks, its temperature drops below the dew-point and moisture is deposited in tiny drops.
