[Greenbuilding] Open Cell Failure

[conservation architect]

My statement I believe my statement was incorrect.  The high concentration of vapor should increase the dew point temperature, similar to a high relative humidity.  A higher dew point temperature increases the vulnerability of condensation and rotting.

I haven't had a chance to read the article, but just wanted to point out that this incorrectly worded.  Dew point is a function of temperature alone (for the most part).  Adding moisture brings it closer to condensation, so the point stands.

Thank You Kindly,
