Moisture and Thermal Bridging
For all construction detailing absence of condensation and mould growth is essential. In highly insulated warm buildings, cold spots on interior surfaces will gather moisture just like steam hitting glass. The repeated occurrence of moisture accumulation can not only cause mold but also visual and structural damage.
​
Cold spots, lines or area's are normally caused by highly conductive elements in building fabric such as steel/concrete or even sometimes wood or plastic.
​
Whats more, the arrangement of the materials in any assembly, detail or even in 3 dimensional points and corners can lead to risks of sweating, sometimes causing fatal structural damage.
​
Earth Cycle Technologies provides 1D, 2D and 3D simulations for BOTH heat and moisture analiytics to assess and remediate the risk of sweat, intersticial condensation and surface temperatures on either a static (single point in time) or dynamic (over a time period) basis.
​
Using specialist software's we can simulate your construction details and analyse the building fabric to almost exacting details. We can then estimate if there is a deficieny in the building fabric by design.

As an accredited thermal modeller Robert Ryan can also provide Psi, Chi, fRsi and intersticial condensation calculations for Building Regulations Compliance If you would like to get a quotation please contact us through the contact page.
