Hello everyone,
are there physicists or experts knowledgeable in physics here?
I am concerned with the drying of interior plaster.
In our new building, the interior plaster was completed the day before yesterday, and we are now thinking about how to get the moisture out of the house or the walls as effectively as possible and without much damage, especially in the basement, which was also under 25 cm of water about 2 months ago. (We have a hillside house, so the basement is half underground, the other half rises above ground level halfway. We therefore have 4 normal windows above ground on this side of the basement.)
From various guides and through some construction workers as well as a building drying company, we have learned that in summer you should only ventilate at night, i.e., when it is at least 5°C colder outside than inside, NEVER during the day when it is hot. Scientifically, this also makes a lot of sense based on the saturation curve of water vapor. Now the question arises: does this apply only to finished houses, or also to fresh interior plaster to dry it quickly and effectively? We have read in other forums that after interior plastering, ventilation should be continuous during the day and not at night?!
Especially in the basement, we want to avoid making mistakes here to prevent mold formation!
Currently, during the day, the house has about 82% relative humidity at 22-23 degrees. In the basement, it is 90% relative humidity at 18-19 degrees.
If we ventilate at night, the temperature lowers to about 17-18 degrees with around 70% relative humidity.
The next question is: how long should you wait after interior plastering before installing the floor insulation? Could residual moisture from the plastered wall possibly migrate into the insulation and cause damage?
Many heartfelt thanks in advance for your answers!
Best regards
