Abstract
This chapter is concerned with moisture in the air, condensation of moisture in buildings, and with refrigerators and heat pumps. These topics are part of the overall thermal study of buildings and they are all influenced by the properties of gases and vapours explained in chapter 1. The presence of water vapour in the air not only affects condensation, but also affects the human comfort conditions outlined in chapter 3.
