Summary:
The means of tracing the flows of moisture in a building by using the stable isotopes of oxygen-18 and deuteriumare described. It is shown that knowledge of the effects of the transport mechanisms and reactions on the isotopic composition can be used to identify the sources of moisture. This is illustrated by an example from a building in the southern part of Sweden.
