The laugh of the day! Imagine a 150kW dehumidifier. It would be one heck of a machine. Of course, it is 150W, thanks for pointing that out. I think I need to get some sleep. Regarding the lack of ventilation, I totally agree. Some people have found that after they install double glazing (i.e. shut the last "holes" that there are) their homes are starting to rot. LOL!

In Poland, where I live, the main cause for condensation on walls that allows mould to grow is the lack of proper ventillation. Some people tend to close all the holes that allow natural ventillation to work properly, because they believe it saves them money. While it does save a little (you stop cold air from entering the house and wark from escaping it), it causes much damage to the walls.
