Risk Assessments for Surface and Interstitial Condensation

Atkinson Science provides risk assessments for surface and interstitial condensation in buildings in accordance with BS5250:2011. The assessment method, the Glaser method, is described in BS EN ISO 13788:2012. The Glaser method assumes that the diffusion of heat and vapour through the building envelope is one-dimensional. By employing a CFD program, Atkinson Science can extend the Glaser method to structures in which diffusion occurs in all three coordinate directions. The case studies below describe risk assessments for canopy and balcony junctions and for a flat roof.
