Does internal wall insulation cause interstitial condensation

SuperHomer Maria Hawton-Mead talks about early results from the monitoring for interstitial condensation. This follows the installation of internal wall insulation in her solid wall Victorian terraced house in Ditching Rise, Brighton. The first results are for moisture content in joist ends. See the table at 1.05 which shows gradual drop off in moisture content since the installation. • As well as sensors on the joist ends there are also sensors on the original brickwork behind the installed internal wall insulation with readings taken automatically every five minutes . A year's data for this will be available in Summer 2012 when Maria hopes to provide an update which you will find at the link below as part of our SuperHomes FAQ about Interstitial Wall Condensation. • http://www.superhomes.org.uk/resource... • Maria's home has undergone extensive eco renovation and includes an attractive loft conversion. It is one of the homes in the SuperHomes network of older homes that have been renovated by their owners to reduce carbon emissions by at least 60%. Most SuperHomes host public open days in Spring or September. For more, visit: • http://www.superhomes.org.uk/90
