VERT / GREEN
Measure water/air temperature and humidity; inspect condensation and corrosion before changing finishes.
Indoor pool humidity, envelope and ventilation
Treat evaporation, dehumidification, air pressure, cold surfaces, corrosion, glazing and envelope as one system.
JAUNE / YELLOW
An indoor pool creates a continuous moisture load that can migrate into walls/roof if pressure and air barriers are not controlled.
ROUGE / RED
Interstitial condensation, extensive mould, structural corrosion or improvised ventilation: specialized design required.
Interactive triage
Helps choose the next step; does not replace design, permits or professional diagnosis.
Useful tools and data
- Hygrometer/data logger
- Water/air temperature
- Envelope/HVAC plan
What the professional checks
- Calculate evaporation load
- Design pressure/dehumidification
- Assess corrosion and envelope

Special check related to this project
V14
Systems to check before closing the work
V14 connects envelope, air, fire, structure, water and code instead of treating each project in isolation.
V15
Remaining system checks not to miss
V15 covers issues that can block a project, cause a loss or become expensive once concealed.
V18
Specialized diagnostics to verify
V18 connects systems that become costly or regulated when a primary project triggers them.
V19
Edge systems to integrate into the project
V19 covers interfaces that become important when multiple home systems interact.
V27
Project risks and overlooked interfaces
V27 connects payment, water, envelope, ventilation and jobsite details that often create costly surprises.
V28
Finish and service details to verify
V28 connects small details that become costly once finishes are closed.
V30
Shared, access and specialized interfaces
V30 connects projects where multiple systems, owners or rules meet.
V31
Commissioning and everyday safety
V31 helps verify systems after work and document the values that make a home safer to operate.
V32
Post-disaster and legacy systems
V32 connects contamination, storm damage, legacy materials and recommissioning before rebuilding.
