3.1 Condensation
Condensation is the transformation into a liquid state of part of the water vapor contained in the ambient air, and its appearance on the surface or inside a structure.
Examples: mist on windows. Aureoles on walls giving rise to mold.
Air contains a percentage of water vapor.
This is its relative humidity (RH), also known as the air's hygrometric degree or humidity level.
