A Tiny Bit of Condensation

How humid does this Tiny Home feel? Well, on a super sunny winter day, there's a bit of condensation on the north facing window. But really, only a bit under these specific circumstances. The weather was -17 C. outside, and 30 C. inside. That's a 47 degree differential. Pretty wild numbers, aren't they. (And did I mention again that this took no heating source to maintain while the sun was out? All free passive heat for 8 hours.)

One of the main reason that we bought and built this particular Tiny Home was that we wanted a well insulated home that would feel like a home and not a trailer. We wanted it to be air tight. We visited several other Tiny Homes, and we heard that condensation can be a big problem. One owner told me that water ran down her walls and soaked all her clothing and articles. She had built the home herself, and it had insulation. That freaked me out and made me understand the difference between a cheap shack and this Zen Shed. The air quality needs to be good to feel good in a Tiny Home, and love my choice.
