Abstract (en)
A method of drying a building (3) includes closing all openings in the building such that air movement out of the building is restricted, drawing air from outside the building, heating the outside air, and directing a stream of the heated outside air into the building through an input duct (17). The building air pressure of air inside the building is measured and compared to a desired building air pressure that is less than the input pressure. Where the measured building air pressure is greater than the desired building air pressure, a substantially controlled flow of air is allowed to exit the building at an exhaust location and the flow of air from the building is controlled to maintain the building air pressure at the desired air pressure.
