Hello, we are now experiencing our first winter in the house.
The humidity level is always around 60%, sometimes even higher.
The exterior plaster was completed last week.
Moisture also accumulates on the roof windows.

Could it be that the masonry is still damp?
It’s a brick house without mechanical ventilation.

Regards, Patrick

As mentioned, more than the windows currently can't be done.

Well, enjoy living in the moldy house. At least you are only damaging your own building structure and not that of a landlord.

Don’t you get it yet? He’s VENTILATING....
Your comment is totally unacceptable.

Opening windows for a long time doesn’t help. For every 1-2 hours spent indoors, ventilate for 5 minutes. The air needs to warm up in between; it’s basic physics.

Set the heating curve a bit higher and ventilate several times a day with shock ventilation. It will stabilize on its own. If you are not home during the day and have no other sources of moisture (large plants, etc.), no moisture will build up except for residual dampness. You could think that humans can only survive nowadays with a ventilation system.

Wow, what’s going on here? It seems like a few people are quite upset.

You need to fully ventilate at least 5 times a day for about 10 minutes each time. And most importantly, heat the house well and consistently. At least 22°C (72°F) everywhere.

You will only get rid of the moisture about one year after moving in.
