    In my new house ( new to me, built in 68’) there’s a room that gets frost buildup at one of the wall corners.

      Yowch. What do you think is causing it? Water ingress? A gap? Rising damp?

    Isn’t the real source the sill plate lack of insulation, or the exterior wall?

      Its a 1930's build so there are gaps somewhere (possibly everywhere). My feeling is that it's coming from under the house as the exterior wall has a porch added on.

    Wow! There is a 3 meter gap in my room.

      Is it draughty?

      That could be a window. I've made that mistake before.

      @googlesucks925 should be able to check with the back of your hand.. . A moist hand will enhance the feeling (due to the cooling turbulent / latent heat of evaporation iirc)
