  3. Window insulation film - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_insulation_film

    One commonly used film is a heat-shrink plastic which is attached to the window frame using double-sided pressure-sensitive tape. A hair dryer is used to remove creases and improve optical clarity. Reduced heat flow also helps prevent condensation [3] [4] [5] which is triggered when the temperature of the inside surface falls below the dew point.

  4. Condensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condensation

    Condensation on a window during a rain shower. Condensation in building construction is an unwanted phenomenon as it may cause dampness, mold health issues, wood rot, corrosion, weakening of mortar and masonry walls, and energy penalties due to increased heat transfer. To alleviate these issues, the indoor air humidity needs to be lowered, or ...

    When found in the home, asbestos often resembles grayish-white corrugated cardboard coated with cloth or canvas, usually held in place around pipes and ducts with metal straps. Things that typically might contain asbestos: [33] Boiler and furnace insulation. Heating duct wrapping. Pipe insulation ("lagging"). Ducting and transite pipes within ...

    A weatherized building is protected from the outside elements in order to maximize energy efficiency. Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station. Weatherization (American English) or weatherproofing (British English) is the practice of protecting a building and its interior from the elements, particularly from sunlight, precipitation, and wind, and of modifying a building to reduce energy consumption ...

  7. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

    Inside a steel building, water vapor will condense whenever it comes into contact with a surface that is below the dew point temperature. Visible condensation on windowpanes and purlins that results in dripping can be somewhat mitigated with ventilation; however insulation is the preferred method of condensation prevention.

  9. Dew point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point

    If the air is very dry and has few water molecules, the dew point is low and surfaces must be much cooler than the air for condensation to occur. If the air is very humid and contains many water molecules, the dew point is high and condensation can occur on surfaces that are only a few degrees cooler than the air. [8]
