2. Moisture vapor transmission rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_vapor...

   The building materials industry also manages the moisture barrier properties in architectural components to ensure the correct moisture levels in the internal spaces of buildings. Optoelectronic devices based on organic material, generally named OLEDs , need an encapsulation with low values of WVTR to guarantee the same performances over the ...

3. Damp proofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_proofing

   Concrete normally allows moisture to pass through so a vertical vapor barrier is needed. Barriers may be a coating or membrane applied to the exterior of the concrete. The coating may be asphalt, asphalt emulsion, a thinned asphalt called cutback asphalt, or an elastomer. [9] Membranes are rubberized asphalt or EPDM rubber. Rubberized products ...

4. Waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterproofing

   In construction, a building or structure is waterproofed with the use of membranes and coatings to protect contents and structural integrity. The waterproofing of the building envelope in construction specifications is listed under 07 - Thermal and Moisture Protection within MasterFormat 2004, by the Construction Specifications Institute, and includes roofing and waterproofing materials.

5. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

   A vapor barrier on the warm side of the envelope must be combined with a venting path on the cold side of the insulation. This is because no vapor barrier is perfect, and because water may get into the structure, typically from rain. In general, the better the vapor barrier and the drier the conditions, the less venting is required. [7]

6. Epoxy moisture control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy_moisture_control_system

   Epoxy moisture control systems can be applied over concrete with relative humidity levels up to 100%, and there are systems available on the market today that can be applied over concrete that is physically damp. In some cases, with the use of an epoxy moisture control system, floor coverings can be installed just 7 days after the slab is poured.

7. 16 Divisions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16_Divisions

   The 16 Divisions of construction, as defined by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI)'s MasterFormat, is the most widely used standard for organizing specifications and other written information for commercial and institutional building projects in the U.S. and Canada.
