    Condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with a cold surface, causing water droplets to form. High humidity in buildings can be caused by activities like cooking and bathing which produce water vapor. Effects of high humidity include mold and mildew growth, damage to building materials like wood and concrete, and discomfort for occupants. Proper ventilation and dehumidification can help control indoor humidity levels.
