Internal thermal insulation added retroactively has an especial influence on the behaviour of the building with respect to building physics. Particular attention should be paid to vapour diffusion from inside to outside, because of likely condensation at the former inner surface of the wall, and because of the reduced drying potential of the external wall after wetting by driving rain. This guideline is part of a series of guidelines which deal with these specific aspects of moisture transfer. General planning suggestions are made and possible risks are defined and discussed. A verification of moisture protection is vital to fully assess internal thermal insulation measures and to avoid damage resulting from the intervention. In general, this verification of moisture protection should be conducted using computer simulations of the coupled heat-moisture transport according to WTA guidelines 6-1, 6-2 and particularly 6-5. A simplified verification procedure is presented, and the necessary boundary conditions are determined.
