Architect L. G. Dirassar, of
Vancouver, has designed this
three-bedroom bungalow with a
'
"living ,wing" featuring spac-
ious' windows overlooking the
back garden to provide an
abundance of natural light as
. well as privacy. The L-shaped "'
plan also ;ensures good separa
tidn of the living and sleeping
areas.
There is ample cupboard and
shelf space in . the compact-
'' kitchen, which 'has really' ac-
eess to both the dining area :\
of the living room` and the fam-
ily room. Provision has been
made for the installation of a
washed and a dryer .at one end
of the family room. The base-
ment extends only under the
living area of the house; the
ground beneath -:the.-bedroom
wing is unexcavated.
..-,Total,--floor area —iso=—.1;241----
square -;feet and the, exterior
dimensions are -:35 feet, four
inches, by 45 feet, four inches.
Working , drawings : for this ;.
house, known as. Design 276,
are available , from Central
Mortgage e" and Housing -Cor Corpor-
ations, Po
ations.

Condensation is, a problem that
is given "insufficient consideration
by many home owners today. But
the damage' caused. from this
sourcein . Canadian homes runs
into . millions of dollars' `annually..
By" understanding` •condensation,
how' it :occurs, the damage it' can
do, and .how it can be. overcome,
the home 'owner will ,be in a bet-
ter position to ' meet . this problem
should it- arise. `
• Condensation is moisture in the
air: that reverts : back, to water or
"condenses.".. The warmer the air
the more • moisture it can 'hold.
When moisture -filled air is cooled,
water vapor turns to water.
Condensation is 'easily recogniz-
ed. It appears' as drops: of water,
damp spots on .walls and ceilings
and as frost. or ice in ;;colder wea-
ther. Condensation may appear on
window panes, metal door plates,'
cold water pipes, toilet tanks and,
wall surfaces when conditions are
favorable. It may,:, however,..also
occur in'unseen parts of the house.
Where. Does Moisture Come From?
When a' house is new a`consider
able amount of moisture is'given
off by plastered surfaces and by
concrete walls :and:. floors. These
require large -quantifies 'of .-water
In, their construction — some 500
gallons for an average size•house.
.It usually takes six months • to a
year -for, this 'water to;; evaporate.'
An excess of "moisture may come
from the .,ground if the soil is ex:
ceptionally wet:::. or if there is no
concrete floor, as in ,a house with
a crawl space instead of a base-
ment. Some moisture is also , giv-.
en off in the burning of fuels when
the furnace or gas stove is oper-
ating. • Hidden -'leaks in 'plumbing
walls or roof are, of course, other
sources 'of trouble.
Living'' habits ' of the 'occupants
themselves, will ` create 'moisture;
leading to, condensation.' In fact,
this can .be the maincause of,
:condensation. •,
Preparing meals; dishwashing, a
kettle .steaming on the stove, bath-
ing, laundering and:dry clothes in-
side.the house' and the use of auto -
metre humidifiers and :automatic
electric dryers which are •not"
vented to ,the outside', all produce
water vaporhich is absorbed by
_the air::: _....
Meal§' "for ” a family of four give
off about four. pounds of water ;va-
por a
a-por•a day;
Taking a bath will add one-quar-
ter of a pound of water to the air
in the bathroom; a shower will
add abbot double that amount.
Mopping a, floor can release up
to 212 pounds of water vapor;
washing dishes for four persons
another three-quarter of a pound.
Through the simple process of
breathing and ,perspiring, every
person gives off about three pounds
of moisture each.: day.
An -o` •furnace .produces some
fourgallons of water a
darea gas,
furnace considerablymo. l`r-
tunat 1y, most ofthis moisture
goes up the .chimney.
Drying°a- 10 -pound washing (dry
weight) in the house evenafter
the . clothes have been wrung or
spin-dried will .mix• another ' 10
pounds of ,water with the air in
the laundry r000m.
Moisture in the air in one part
of the house quickly spreads to
other parts;just as d4 cooking od-
ors. The air in an average "size
house cannot hold more than 15 to
20:pounds of.. iisture; beyond this
point condensation begins and
some of the water' vapor becomes'
water again. The colder air—the
air` next tb windows, along'the.,bot-
tom: of the walls and around cold'
water pipes' or drain pipes -is - the
first': to condense.
The smaller the'house the ;great-
great-
er the chance of haying cpndensa-
tion. The ;sante living habits are
less likely to produce condensation
if the house:; is larger because the:.
air. volume ' is greater ..and can
hold- melee moisture.
'Climate and the :weather also
have something to do with "con-
densation. the outside air has
a. high water vapor pressure the
air ;inside the house will not be:
able'` to get rid of its moisture as
rapidly . as when "theoutside air ' is.
What, Damage : Can Result?
Condensation is chiefly responsi-
ble
esponsible for hastening. the deterioration
of buildings. It is particularly
harmful . to wood. Bacteria and
fungi which attack and eventually
destroy • the wooden garts'of, a
house thrive in•moistsurround-:
Closed in structural -wood Tram
ing sirch'es 'I1nnr_joists, studs, •raf
ters and beams are especially sub-
ject to damage. Other' wooden
parts;. of the house, ` such as win
dow frames,', sash, doors,:. sheath-
ing: and trimming can also be dam-
aged ' through
am-aged'through continued exposure
tommoisture. -
Wood .that. repeatedly ..gets wet
and then "dries 'out `tends to warp
and'' crack. This is What' happens
to• wood flooringwhen eondensa=
tion from windows runs down the
wall.'. and on to the floor. • .
Steel, as well as• wood,, can be
damaged and eventually •, eaten
away by moisture, .Untreated steel.
nails ,' and 'screws .'rust and • lose
their holding power and work
loose. Parts of the plumbing, heat-
ing ;and electrical equipment can
be affected. ' ,
Mineral ' wool used to insulate
the home loses much . of its value
when • it . becomes waterlogged
through condensation. The .:,weiglit
of this water often causes the in-,
sulation to drop, leaving • ,unpro-
tected areas: '
Condensation that seeps into
mortar - joints in masonry walls
and freezes may destroy the mor-
tar when it'` thaws out.
Plaster stains are one .of . the
most common' types of ;damage.
through-°roiidensation,, ' Btains on
the .ceiling which may be attribut-:
ed'to a leaky roof' in many cases
are caused by condensation. Con-
densation on walls, known,..as
"sweating" . can ruin the . interior
wall finish. It loosens wall paper
and causes paint to lift off,
The failure of exterior paint can
often be traced directly to water
vapor and condensation acting on
the underside of. the film of -paint,
detaching it from the wood. .
Row To Check Condensation
Since condensation is caused by
excessive moisture in the ,:ail it
must be checked at its -source.
The correction may be simple and
inexpensive.p ' . '
The amount of wa-
ter por added daily to the, air
within the house can often' be re-
duced by a change in living hab-
its: Water vapor can also -be re-
leased to the outside air by pro-
viding additional ventilation,
Water vapor accumulating in
roomor,the kitchen, forexample,
should not be allowed to . spread
to other parts • of the house. If
these rooms have no 'mechanical
ventilation to the outside the win:
dows.:0hould be opened occasional-
ly so, that the water' vapor can
escape.
Other rooriis Shahid also be ven-
tilated from tithe to time. Since
