Abstract:
"The primary objective was to obtain a better understanding of the performance of various house wall assemblies built using wet or green framing lumber (more than 19 per cent moisture content). One goal was to determine whether moisture levels increase, decrease or cycle over time in different wall assemblies and whether these changes result in moisture-related problems. The project was also designed to determine whether exterior cladding, wall orientation and the time taken to close wall assemblies had an impact on subsequent changes in moisture levels and the occurrence of moisture-related problems. бн " -- see more description at This link was checked on Dec. 2006CMHC
