The Ontario wall drying project / E.F.P. Burnett and A.J. Reynolds.: NH17-209/1991E-PDF
"The National Building Code of Canada requires that the moisture content of framing lumber be not greater than 19 per cent at the time of installation. One important reason for this provision is that, if the initial moisture content of lumber is high, a considerable amount of water is built into the enclosure. Its presence, especially in low-rise residential buildings, creates conditions that can give rise to a variety of moisture related problems. Because this code provision is commonly violated, a project to assess the nature and consequences of built-in moisture was developed for Southwestern Ontario conditions. ... The primary objective was to obtain a broader and better understanding of the moisture related performance of various wall assemblies constructed with wet/green (above 19%moisture content) framing lumber"--Exec. summary.
