Discontinuous at
precast vertical joints Condensation track

Problem
àCondensation at end of construction
àLong cold snap (-10 to -15) followed
by sunny and warm (above freezing)
àWater drained down onto floors and
then elevator shafts
àFlow rate was gallons per minute
àMany hundreds of gallons flowed into
shaft during day
àAccess floors needed to be lifted and
cleaned

Convection Loop
Cold air falls
Result in winter:
• Cavity air pushes into building at bottom
• Drags indoor air into cavity at top

White roofs
àLower heat gain: great! (until winter)
àReduce stress on exposed roof
membranes
àBut: Reduces drying out of roof
àThus: Require better moisture
control!
àDeck-level Air barrier required more often
àMore sensitive to construction moisture
