This facility allows you to perform a condensation analysis on the currently selected construction. It is accessed either from the Calculations menu option Condensation analysis or by a button on the construction editing dialog.
Before condensation analysis can be carried out, all layers of the construction must be assigned a vapour resistivity. You will be prompted to supply any missing values:
Edit boxes (with spin buttons)
Conditions on each side of the construction can be specified:
Ext. T: The external air temperature to be used in the analysis
Ext. RH: The external air relative humidity to be used in the analysis
Int. T: The internal air temperature to be used in the analysis
Int. RH: The internal air relative humidity to be used in the analysis
Chart
If condensation is predicted, a chart is displayed showing the variation of the following variables through the construction:
VP: Vapour pressure
Dry Bulb Temp.: Dry bulb temperature
Sat. VP: Saturated vapour pressure
A blue dot indicates where condensation occurs.
