Eliminating Humidity and Condensation Problems in University Dormitories: Case Study.
http://resources.cacx.org/library/holdings/265.pdf Chen, Hui;Hugghins, Joel; Bruner, Homer; Zhu, Yiwen; Turner, W. D.; Deng, Song Deng; Claridge, David. (California Commissioning Collaborative, Sacramento , Jan 2003)
Presents the investigation and follow-up efforts that identified reasons and corrective measures for high humidity levels in the living areas of two Texas A&M dormitories. The paper describes how the dormitories were affected by excessive humidity by verifying design and existing HVAC systems, diagnosing humidity problems, and then recommending continuous commissioning measures implemented to deal with these problems. High humidity was attributed to largely to excess infiltration of unconditioned outside air, and to lack of effective airflow pathways within the buildings. 10p.

Dormitory Fires. [Topical Fire Research Series]
http://www.usfa.fema.gov/downloads/pdf/tfrs/v1i14.pdf (U.S. Fire Administration, Emmitsburg, MD, Mar 2001)
Each year in the U.S. there are an estimated 1,300 fires in high school, private and prep school, and university dormitories.

The Jackson State University Honors Dormitory: An Evaluation of Design, Construction, and Maintenance. Report to the Mississippi Legislature.
http://www.eric.ed.gov/contentdelivery (Joint Legislative Committee on Performance Evaluation and Expenditure Review, Mississippi Legislature , Dec 27, 2000)
This report assesses (1) whether the Jackson State University (JSU) Honors Dormitory required nearly $1 million in repairs two years after it was built because of inappropriate design, construction, and maintenance; and (2) if the state or university has legal recourse to recover damages resulting from inferior design and/or construction specifications. Findings reveal that JSU did not effectively investigate or identify existing subsurface water collection problems at the site. Also, the State Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) did not assure that the dormitory was properly maintained when JSU failed to resolve the groundwater problem. Neither JSU nor the Department of Finance and Administration has legal recourse to recover damages to pay the repair expenses. Recommendations suggest (1)a high-level JSU review of the university's preventive maintenance plan, (2)a JSU review of the distribution of maintenance responsibilities between facility maintenance staff and the student affairs staff to determine effective maintenance methods, and (3) the adoption of a uniform policy for preventive and emergency maintenance programs for all campus facilities. Concluding sections present responses to the report. 50p.
