Condensation in flat roofs [PDF]
, 1970 Condensation in attics and flat roofs of residential dwellings in Canada is a problem which, besides a nuisance, can and does cause damage to ceiling and wall structure. Each individual factor involved in the formation of condensation is known and can be calculated, but it is very difficult to predict when and how these factors, which together cause ...
