WUFI® Dynamic Simulation / DIN 4108-3
Hygrothermal Component Analysis
Moisture Safety Through Reliable Building Physics
Moisture protection is a foundational requirement in contemporary construction. Whether dealing with new builds or retrofits, verifying the hygrothermal behavior of multi-layer building components is essential to preclude interstitial condensation, rot, mold, and energy loss.
Typical Engineering Applications:
- Safety verification for internal insulation assemblies where classic exterior facades must remain intact.
- Assessment of vapor-permeable vs. vapor-tight roof, wall, and timber framing layers.
- Moisture evaluation of historic masonry, driving rain exposure, and drying potentials.
- Supporting documentation for technical building approvals and warranty protection.
