Most people have no clue about relative humidity, dew point temp and condensation.
I have a similar problem with a rental property. 85 year old lady wants to save on AC, so she leaves windows open and vents basement where the ground temps are close to 55 and so are the basement wall temps. Her relative humidity in basement is 75%
If you go to the post below from Georgia State University and plug in the temp and humidity, you can get the dew point temp. So we have 80 degree day and 70 percent humidity in Indiana, the dew point is close to 69 degrees. What that means is when the outside air hits the cold basement walls, the walls and floor gets wet and the carpet stinks.
Tenant thinks rain water is getting in, when in reality it's condensation because she is STUPID and won't listen. I showed her, the ground outside the place where there is condensation inside is dry as can be.
Just can't teach old people new tricks.
However to solve your problem, all you need to do is bring in cold outside air, heat it up and your problem will go away. Use the equation in reverse put in cold air and humidity, then warm it up to 80 degrees and see what happens the relative humidity.
Bottom line, when anything gets below dewpoint, you will have condensation, that inclused windows and a cold metal ceiling.
Play with the equation and see what I'm talking about. It's toward the bottoom. george

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
