The moisture levels are too high for the insulation and
environmental conditions. Constantly wet windows and
walls lead to mold and bacteria growth and encourage
lung diseases.

Of course the problem can be solved with either or
both. The best is more insulation.

BTW:I replaced sashless windows with aluminum units in
my previous house and they were equal or even nicer in
some ways than my current double glazed all vynyl
units. They were thermally broken and built like two
completely independant window systems fastened
together. More air gap than the best size though.

You and Nick are *both* *ASSUMING* the humidity level
is too high. I'm
merely pointing out that another explanation is the
humidity is okay and the
inside of his windows, if they are single pane, with
aluminum frames is too
cold. Think about it.
