| Summary: | Purpose: the purpose of this study is to examine the moisture ratio under that period with and without weather protection to see if it has an impact on the moisture levels. The purpose is also to identify the profitability of the weather protection and if there are other methods that can be used to replace it.Method: For this study different methods have been used to maintain the results. A literature study and a case study were made to achieve credible results and are the basis for this project. The case study is made on three different projects. One of the projects is a preschool with weather protection and is located in the city of Uppsala. The other two projects are without weather protection and one of them is located in Uppsala which is an apartment building and the other one in Stockholm and is a warehouse. Books, websites, scientific reports, and articles were used in the literature study to obtain important information to help the students to answer the questions.Results: The results show that the price for weather protection depends on which type of weather protection it is, how long time it will be used, and the size of it. Moisture measurements that were taken on the building projects without weather protection didn’t differ much from the project with. Results show there are many methods that can be used instead of weather protection to reduce high moisture levels. The wood pieces of the own experiment showed that after a couple of days they were dehydrated and the moisture ratios were below 15 %.Conclusions: Using weather protection depends on which project it is. It’s difficult to calculate the profit of weather protection during the construction stage. Weather protection has many benefits. The construction time will be decreased and you can install lights that can help the builders to see during the construction. The moisture ratio for the project with weather protection didn’t differ much from the projects without weather protection. According to the own experiment, wood is a very good material when it comes to dehydration of moisture.
