Default Moisture on outside walls

My daughter's new house has a 4 ft. wide wall in the garage, and the
wall above her front door entry both get condensate on them when it is
cold. Is this an indication there is no vapor barrier there, or no
insulation, or both? This doesn't show up anywhere else in the
house. She does run a humidifier on furnace at 25%.

Hi,
Sounds like a poor insulation/vapor barrier or air leakage.
RH setting depends on outside temp.
