Condensation Risk Analysis

We utilize cutting-edge modelling software, such as WUFI Pro, to assess the hygrothermal performance of building components and elements. By adhering to the standards set forth in BS EN 15026:2023, we ensure that our evaluations are both accurate and compliant with the latest industry guidelines.

Condensation in Buildings

Condensation arises when warm, humid air meets colder surfaces or areas of significant temperature variation within a building. Surface condensation typically manifests on visible surfaces like walls or windows, specifically at thermal bridges where heat loss is highest. Alternatively, interstitial condensation occurs within the building’s structure or sealed construction systems. Both forms lead to mould growth and structural damage, highlighting the necessity of Condensation Risk Analysis and WUFI modelling to ensure thermal bridge calculations are accurate and the indoor environment remains healthy.

What is WUFI Pro

Wufi is a powerful tool that conducts dynamic simulations of coupled heat and moisture transfer in building components. Its methods have been validated globally, ensuring accurate representation of hygrothermal conditions that buildings experience in real-world climates. By performing comprehensive hygrothermal analysis, Wufi enables us to make informed recommendations. By leveraging these simulations, we can enhance the durability and performance of designs, addressing both comfort and sustainability in the built environment.
