Perhaps not as far as one might think. I once had to work with a large data center, which was having a huge condensation and eventual corrosion problem on one side of the room. No one had made the connection that it was a shared wall with the main building atrium, which had an indoor waterfall that made quite an evaporative cooler. Extra wall insulation solved the problem.
