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
Howard-
I worked in Davos, Switzerland for a couple of weeks once, and was staying in a rented family chalet.
It was minus 25degC the whole time, but I was going outside to have a spliff in T-shirt and pants comfortably. The house was thicc af, with a big fuck off oil burner constantly on in the basement. Toasty.
ectoplasmosis
What do they do about condensation?
