Left:Temperature and dew-point temperature at the place marked in the right figure. The dew-point indicates the
temperature, at which water vapour condensates. As long as the temperature of the component is everywhere above the dew
point, no condensation occurs. If the curves have contact, condensation occurs at the corresponding position.
Right: The component, drawn to scale.

Moisture proofing
For the calculation of the amount of condensation water, the component was exposed to the following constant climate for
90 days: inside: 24°C und 50% Humidity; outside: -30°C und 20% Humidity (Climate according to user input).
This component is free of condensate under the given climate conditions.

Humidity

Commercial use only with Plus-, PDF- or Profi-Option (from 2.99 € / month plus VAT).
The temperature of the inside surface is 20,3 °C leading to a relative humidity on the surface of 63%.Mould formation is not
expected under these conditions.

Notes: Calculation using the Ubakus 2D-FE method. Convection and the capillarity of the building materials
were not considered. The drying time may take longer under unfavorable conditions (shading, damp / cool
summers) than calculated here.

and red lines at 7 pm , 11 pm and 3 am.
Bottom:Temperature on the outer ( red ) and inner ( blue ) surface in the course of a day. The arrows indicate the location of
the temperature maximum values . The maximum of the inner surface temperature should preferably occur during the
second half of the night.

Phase shift* 12,7 h Heat storage capacity (whole component): 131 kJ/m²K
Amplitude attenuation ** 21,8 Thermal capacity of inner layers: 49 kJ/m²K
TAV *** 0,046
* The phase shift is the time in hours after which the temperature peak of the afternoon reaches the component interior.
** The amplitude attenuation describes the attenuation of the temperature wave when passing through the component. A value of 10
means that the temperature on the outside varies 10x stronger than on the inside, e.g. outside 15-35 °C, inside 24-26 °C.
*** The temperature amplitude ratio TAV is the reciprocal of the attenuation: TAV = 1 / amplitude attenuation
Note: The heat protection of a room is influenced by several factors, but essentially by the direct solar radiation through windows and the
total amount of heat storage capacity (including floor, interior walls and furniture). A single component usually has only a very small
influence on the heat protection of the room.

The calculations presented above have been created for a 1-dimensional cross-section of the component.
