您是否知道在我们的气候中，一些大约10岁的建筑物的屋顶结构，在他们预期存在问题时，较少的年份是失败的？由于2000年建筑码的变化，由于该空间填充玻璃纤维绝缘空间，因此有些建筑物没有在隐藏空间中的喷洒器。这种变化具有在天花板蒸汽延迟器和屋顶甲板之间产生冷凝的意外后果，损坏屋顶结构。

了解有这个问题的建筑类型;潜在的水分损伤来源;测量水分积累的工具;and how to create a complete vapor retarder with appropriate insulation to avoid moisture accumulation and potential building damage. In addition, there are fire protection related options that will be discussed that will offer a designer additional options to consider.
