It is the predisposition toward prescriptive guidance inhibited the development of an engineering approach.’<br /> <br /> = Related articles on Designing Buildings =<br /> <br /> * Condensation.<br /> * Dew point.<br /> * Humidity.<br /> * Hygrothermal.<br /> * Vapour barrier.<br /> * Ventilation.<br /> * Water vapour.<br /> <br /> [[Category:DCN_Definition]] [[Category:Definitions]]</div>
