| Abstract | This Digest attempts to outline the principles involved in approaching the problem of dripping in curling rinks, and to discuss some of the methods that might lead to a solution. The analysis suggests that some means of introducing heat into the building is probably the most generally applicable and effective condensation control, particularly in the colder areas in Canada. In conjunction with heating, a roof deck having some thermal insulation value should be used for reasons of heat economy and to provide maximum ceiling surface temperatures. Ceiling finishes having water- absorbing characteristics offer considerable advantages over finishes incapable of taking up moisture. Wood roof decking is an ideal ceiling finish as it not only provides thermal insulation but is also capable of absorbing water. |
