While there are basic design principles and techniques to follow, analysis is normally required when using natural materials and when making modifications to traditional buildings.
A Condensation Risk Analysis (a Glaser Method calculation) can be carried out, but there are limitations to this methodology and it does not accurately model the behaviour of hydroscopic materials.
We currently offer a 1-dimensional Hygrothermal Analysis Service. The WUFI Pro Simulation software is used to model the build-up and site specific conditions to determine the temperature and moisture profile and the likelihood of interstitial condensation and mould.
