This work studies moisture problems in the basement. What possible outside and inside factors create having moisture in the basement. Furthermore, possible solutions of how it is possible to lower moisture in the basement. The study is carried out on an existing building in Kuopio, Fin-land. The existing building has moisture problems in the basement, to decrease moisture problems fan was installed to take drier air from the outside and bring it inside to dehumidify the basement.
In order to study this situation, calculations are carried out. Data of relative humidity and temperature is collected from the eleven months. The graphs are carried out in order to understand the better situation. Moisture content calculations are carried out to find out real situation in the basement.
The main conclusions of this work are to find out the fan operating principle and does it runs correctly. During this work findings, show that fan operating principle is incorrect. Possible solutions are carried out in order to lower moisture problem in the basement.
