CHARACTERISTICS OF SAMPLE HOMES

Each home for which data was collected was assigned an identification number. The following tables summarize the data for each home. The homes are listed in decreasing order of moisture score with the last nine homes having a moisture score of zero, meaning there were no signs of moisture problems in these nine homes. ? Site characterization (Table C-1) ? Problem characterization 1 (Table C-2) ? Problem characterization 2 (Table C-3) ? Visual/Interview findings (Table C-4) ? HVAC equipment (Table C-5) ? Diagnostic test results (Table C-6) ? Pressure mapping (Table C-7) ? Comments and observations (Table C-8)
