Book Description
Almost all homes, apartments, and commercial buildings will experience leaks, flooding, or other forms of excessive indoor dampness at some point. Not only is excessive dampness a health problem by itself, it also contributes to several other potentially problematic types of situations. Molds and other microbial agents favor damp indoor environments, and excess moisture may initiate the release of chemical emissions from damaged building materials and furnishings. This new book from the Institute of Medicine examines the health impact of exposures resulting from damp indoor environments and offers recommendations for public health interventions. Damp Indoor Spaces and Health covers a broad range of topics. The book not only examines the relationship between damp or moldy indoor environments and adverse health outcomes but also discusses how and where buildings get wet, how dampness influences microbial growth and chemical emissions, ways to prevent and remediate dampness, and elements of a public health response to the issues. A comprehensive literature review finds sufficient evidence of an association between damp indoor environments and some upper respiratory tract symptoms, coughing, wheezing, and asthma symptoms in sensitized persons. This important book will be of interest to a wide-ranging audience of science, health, engineering, and building professionals, government officials, and members of the public.
A Review of Pressure Equalization and Compartmentalization Studies of Exterior Walls for Rain Penetration Control

Book Description
Recent studies have demonstrated that the amount of water penetrating through cladding systems can be significantly reduced by integrating the rainscreen concept into their design. Research has also shown that the mean pressure difference across the cladding governs the significant amount of rain penetration. A study on compartmenting the cavity has indicated that the location of compartment seals and the placement of the vents are important considerations in the control of wind driven rain.
