Default Re: Moisture in the Yurt from Condensation

We had a

Shelter Designs

yurt for a restaurant in Montana and we didn't have "real" windows. we had the velco/vinyl windows and we just cracked one of them by the cooking stove (propane) to get that moisture out. Although this had to be done by going outside, you might try that instead of a retro-fit. Also my time spent living in a camper in the winter tought me a few things about condensation (everything covered in ice, everyday). You need ventilation (even at night) and electric appliances are much better than propane, but it was a constant battle to keep the vents clear and I eventually moved inside. I work now in the HVAC industry and some minimal ductwork and a fan coupled with a humidity sensor could be a solution, also could be fresh air intake if burning wood, but I know...kinda goes against the simpler lifestyle approach
