How does SIPs handle condensation?
FIRST, no condensation = NO moulds. The dew-point in a SIP wall is in an area with no air and no air movement through. Condensation is formed by air presence and changes in temperature. As air cools, its capacity to hold moisture decreases. Extreme condensation is caused by a continued supply of new air through a location that creates a lowering of the air stream temperature and thus repeated condensation. A properly assembled SIP home is more than 15 times more air tight than a new stick-built home.
