envelope design
"A consensus is beginning to emerge that a 10% likelihood of failure is an appropriate level in building moisture design analysis" TenWolde, A. and Walker, I. S., 2001, Interior moisture design loads for residences
House that works (www.buildingscience.com/housesthatwork/) by BuildingScience.com has an excellent, detailed, with many drawings, guide for all climatic regions.
