Condensation Risk Calculator

Model a wall, roof, or floor assembly and see the steady-state temperature and vapour-pressure profile update in real time, flagging any interface where interstitial condensation risk exists.

BUILDING PHYSICS TOOL

Steady-state analysis (Glaser Method)

Enter indoor and outdoor conditions, build the assembly from indoor to outdoor face, and the diagram and interface table below recalculate instantly. This is a screening tool for a single steady-state condition — not a substitute for a full hygrothermal (WUFI-style) assessment where seasonal drying, material moisture storage, or driving rain are relevant.

Boundary Conditions

Indoor and outdoor temperature and relative humidity drive the whole profile.

Units

Assembly Layers

Drag rows by the handle to reorder, or use the arrows. Enter conductivity (K) + thickness, or type an R value directly to override — the field turns olive once overridden. Same logic applies to permeability (μ) vs. permeance (M).

Material K (W/m·K) Thick. (mm) R (m²K/W) μ (ng/s·Pa·m) M (ng/s·Pa·m²)
Shaded rows are the fixed indoor / outdoor air films.
