## Description

Water in Buildings: An Architect's Guide to Moisture and Mold [Rose, William B.] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Water in Buildings: An Architect's Guide to Moisture and Mold

Review: Great overview on building physics related to water - As an agricultural ecologist, I love water. The problem is, the processes which control water movement in soil, also control water movement in buildings. And unlike soils, we would like to keep our buildings dry. This book combines theoretical and practical understanding to a complete work on water in buildings and how to control it. Great whole systems approach.
Review: If you care about building science, this book is a must-read - This book goes into the nature of water on a molecular level. It explains why water behaves the way it does so you can understand how best to protect a building from water intrusion. Most importantly, it gives the history of the attic ventilation code which is utterly stupid and not based on science at all. What a shame that we are forced to follow a code which does nothing to protect our homes from water and in fact robs us of the heat we use in our homes. If you care about building science, climate change or protecting buildings from water, this book is a must-read. Expensive but worth every penny. Jason Taylor Energy Efficiency Contractor

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dry sense of humor very appropriate for topic
*by B***R on December 9, 2017*

I have not finished this book yet, but for someone writing for architects, he has a great sense of humor, and lovely delivery. Very pleasant read for such an academic subject.
