Take the 1:5:10:365 challenge: Do one thing - on behalf of 5 to 10 minutes - 365 days per annum to make our home as well as planet environment better.
1:5:10:359 EcoTip: The dew point occurs when temperatures on a surface are cold sufficient to cause condensation to form. If this happens on the outside of a can of soda - its not such a big deal - but if it happens on or inside wall or building cavities - the condensed water can result in damage as well as mold growth.

***********************************
 Additional Information:
The blue area in the thermal image shown above is missing insulation. If the indoor temperature is 68 degrees F, as well as the humidity is 50% condensation shall develop if the surface temperature hits approximately 50 degrees or less. The condensed moisture can result in water damage as well as mold growth.
