Many building owners and contractors are giving increased attention to the maintenance and upkeep of their facilities due to moisture related problems.  This is often because various design components did not adequately address the climatic conditions of the area.  Some of the factors that contribute to the problems include HVAC and dehumidification systems, vapor barriers, exterior facades, and storm water management.

To help address education in this regard, the web site of Building Science Corporation offers a wealth of information about building moisture dynamics and indoor air quality. While Building Science Corporation provides fee-based services - such as consulting, publications, and training classes - they also provide a website that has a great deal of valuable information for free.  This web site can aid a professional engineer stay up-to-date on the lastest building methods.  The information can be viewed on-line, or downloaded as a “pdf” file.
