Wood Moisture Management

Wood Moisture Management addresses the critical challenge of preserving wooden structures in changing climates by focusing on building science principles to combat rot and decay. The book uniquely emphasizes a proactive approach to moisture control, shifting from reactive repairs to preventative construction techniques. This includes understanding moisture sources like rain and condensation, which are key to preventing wood decay, a process driven by fungi and microorganisms. The book progresses from fundamental concepts of moisture behavior and wood decay to examining specific moisture sources and preventative techniques, such as material selection and ventilation strategies. It presents information in an accessible manner, integrating real-world case studies and unique data from moisture monitoring to demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed strategies. Ultimately, it promotes a systems-thinking approach for long-term durability of wooden structures.
