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.

Hygrothermal Component Analysis

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.

Scope of Services:
