Stan said:Condensation is a function of dewpoint.
This is true Stan but for condensation to deposit moisture there must be a surface that is below the dew point, except of course where the humidity is 100% and you have fog indoors!
It is my belief that putting insulation outside of a concrete, brick or other 'massive' structure would use the thermal mass of the walls to stabilise the internal temperature and I believe this is being done in some new buildings around here (latitude 41S) where we have very cold, very strong, onshore winds.
