House gets knocked down and rebuilt before that becomes a problem.
Isn't it basically
- poured concrete basement
- timber construction on top with big voids between the inner and outer
- lots of insulation between the voids and on the exterior
- oil / forced air heating - which is very dry
interior of the house is constantly heated, all surfaces warm, nothing to condensate against
house has a life expectancy of about 50 years before its knocked down and something even more cutting edge is plonked on top
- poured concrete basement

Never noticed it to be a problem despite having a large wet room with an integrated sauna.

I reckon the walls I saw were at least double that (but it can get down to -40 or lower there). The houses I stayed in over there were incredibly warm with no drafts.
