Abstract:
Condensation on windows creates obscured view, can cause building damage, and may lead to mold growth and poor indoor air quality. The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has developed new procedures to evaluate window condensation potential, using a combination of computer simulation and testing. The paper summarizes results of a study into various aspects of computer simulation related to the evaluation of condensation potential. These findings were to assist in the development of the CSA procedures.
