analysis, and there are other considerations that have to be taken into account
when analyzing dew point. Among them are; seasonal and diurnal variation
in wall temperature and RH; the edge effects of studs, windows and
framing; the dynamics of wetting and drying in a cavity; and how a vapor
barrier is used. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
