This illustration of inhomogeneous layers is provided only to assist in visualising the

arrangement.

On the basis of the given information about the inhomogeneous layers, it is not possible to
estimate how and where bearing elements intersect each other. It was assumed that the
layers intersect crosswise. The size of the areas was calculated corresponding to their
percentage of the whole area.

The list of material layers shown below may differ from those in the U-value calculation
printout. Only material layers which are used in the Condensation Risk Analysis are
listed.
This calculation of the Condensation risk analysis according to BS EN ISO 13788:2002
has been performed on a construction containing inhomogeneous layers. This
calculation is only valid through the selected section. It is advisable that you should also
select the alternative position and recalculate the Condensation Risk Analysis for a more
complete assessment of the construction.

Condensation risk analysis - summary of main results

Calculation according BS EN ISO 13788

Surface temperature to avoid critical surface moisture:

No danger of mould growth is expected.

Interstitial condensation occurs, but all the condensate is predicted to evaporate

during the summer months.

The risk of degradation of building materials and deterioration of thermal

performance as a consequence of the calculated maximum amount of moisture
shall be considered according to regulatory requirements and other guidance in
product standards.

CRA calculations according to BS EN ISO 13788:2002 are used as a guide in predicting interstitial condensation. This
methodology uses some simplifications of the dynamic processes involved and subsequently does have some
limitations. Further information can be found in Information Paper IP 2/05 'Modelling and controlling interstitial
condensation in buildings'' Feb 2005.
