  2. Indoor mold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor_mold

    If there are mold problems in a house only during certain times of the year, the house is probably too airtight or too drafty. Mold problems occur in airtight homes more frequently in the warmer months (when humidity is high inside the house, and moisture is trapped), and occur in drafty homes more frequently in the colder months (when warm air ...

    On the other hand, as the VPD increases, the plant needs to draw more water from its roots. In the case of cuttings, the plant may dry out and die. For this reason the ideal range for VPD in a greenhouse is from 0.45 kPa to 1.25 kPa, ideally sitting at around 0.85 kPa. As a general rule, most plants grow well at VPDs of between 0.8 and 0.95 kPa.

  4. Process duct work - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_Duct_Work

    As reducing the loss of heat at plants has changed over the years, ductwork now connects more pieces of equipment than ever before. Care needs to be taken to avoid condensation of moisture in plant ductwork. Once condensation occurs, the condensation may absorb CO 2, other components in the gas stream, and become corrosive on low carbon steel ...

  5. Lifting condensation level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifting_condensation_level

    The convective condensation level (CCL) results when strong surface heating causes buoyant lifting of surface air and subsequent mixing of the planetary boundary layer, so that the layer near the surface ends up with a dry adiabatic lapse rate. As the mixing becomes deeper, it will get to the point where the LCL of an air parcel starting at the ...

  7. Interstitial condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_condensation

    Interstitial condensation is a type of condensation that may occur within an enclosed wall, roof or floor cavity structure, which can create dampening. When moisture-laden air at dew point temperature penetrates inside a cavity of the structure, it condenses into liquid water on that surface. The moisture laden air can penetrate into hidden ...

  8. Damp (structural) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damp_(structural)

    A high proportion of damp problems in buildings are caused by ambient climate dependent factors of condensation and rain penetration. [1] Capillary penetration of fluid from the ground up through concrete or masonry is known as "rising damp" and is governed by the shape and porosity of the construction materials through which this evaporation ...

  9. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

    After cleaning, there is still left over visible dust floating around the house. After or during sleep, occupants experience headaches, nasal congestion, or other sinus problems. Rooms in the house have little or no air flow coming from the vents. Occupants are constantly getting sick or are experiencing more allergies than usual.
