Hello,
My daughter lives in a rented apartment. Very cold air comes down from the roof window. So, they are not keeping the cold out. Now water is collecting in the corners, and the wood is starting to mold. My daughter cleans it thoroughly every time and also uses mold prevention products, but after a few days it returns.
Now my question: Would new windows with better insulation help? Would heating costs also be reduced?
Thank you very much for your information.

Today's generation of windows is so airtight that no moisture can escape. This can cause condensation, which in turn can lead to mold growth.
The best solution is windows with integrated ventilation. However, that will probably remain a dream for the tenant.
