Condensation Risk Analysis
______ With increasing levels of insulation, the use of impermeable cladding materials and new methods of construction, can often come increased risk of condensation in buildings.
Condensation can give rise to a range of problems from surface staining of internal finishes to long term degradation of the structure. Recent health scares from ‘toxic mould’ growth in buildings have also highlighted the dangers that may be caused if condensation persists.
Our team can undertake both surface and interstitial condensation risk analysis using a range of state-of-the-art software packages (steady state and transient) which produces a highly detailed and accurate evaluation of the risk of condensation. Our analysis can be undertaken to support new-build construction as well as existing retrofit projects.
WUFI performs dynamic simulations of coupled heat and moisture transfer. The methods have been validated worldwide and provide a realistic simulation of hygrothermal conditions in building components and buildings under actual climate conditions. This hygrothermal analysis provides the basis for recommendations on material types and thickness, cavity dimensions and appropriate ventilation levels to achieve best practice design standards.
