How does the temperature affect condensation?
The amount of water vapor air can hold is directly related to the air temperature and the amount of condensation produced. Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air. When warm air is cooled it loses its capacity to hold water vapor and, if it cools enough, it will begin to condensate and produce condensation and mould growth. During the summer, the air temperature in your home will probably be maintained at a fairly constant temperature. The real affect of temperature and its impact on condensation will be the relationship between the indoor air temperature and the outside temperature during the winter. The colder the temperature outside the colder the glass surface temperature will become as well as the air temperature in the hidden structural areas of your home. As these areas cool down the air near them begins to cool as well. The air temperature in the room may be relatively unaffected, but the air next to the window glass or in these hidden areas will cool down. The air
