The Role of Hygroscopic Imbalance
While direct vapor pressure drives bulk MVT, the Hygroscopic Imbalance Factor ($\Psi{HI}$) plays a critical secondary role, particularly in organic materials like wood and natural fiber insulation. $\Psi{HI}$ describes the material's tendency to actively adsorb or desorb moisture in response to subtle shifts in ambient [$\text{CO}_2$ co…
