Hi all,
I recently bought a house in the Central Portuguese hills around Coimbra. We're going to do some renovations and I'm looking at retrofitting some sustainable solutions innovations into it. Now the winters in Portugal tend to be humid and because many houses have poor isolation, humidity levels indoors are high. This leads to somewhat unhealthy air and moldy spots on walls in corners and around the windows mainly. You see that central heating systems - however fuelled - are able to nicely heat the house and with that keep humidity out and so the air and walls clear from mold. My question is... will a rocket mass heater be able to do the same? Do people have experience with this?

It is a concern for us as my 9yo boy seems to have sensitive lungs and reacts to the humidity and moldy air. I can put a purifier in the room, but rather prevent it from happening instead of trying to repair it after....

Hope to hear what some of you have experienced...! Cheers
