[Bldg-sim] FW: Interstitial condensations

[Foroutan Parand]

Dear all,

 

I wonder if anyone knows of software that can calculate interstitial
condensation within a construction which separates two conditioned zones.
For example, on the one side (first floor) there is an Ice Rink and on the
other side (floor below) a Swimming Pool. The two zones interface through a
multilayer internal floor slab. We need to assess the risk of condensation
and decide where the vapour barriers should be.

 

Most of the software I have seen, including the dynamic ones, assume the
moisture transfer between the outdoor and indoor conditions. In this case we
have maintained conditions on both side for most of the duration of a day,
so it cannot be considered as cyclic condition. Furthermore, the ice is a
layer at a constant temperature attached to the floor slab, which is not
dealt with in any of the software I have seen. 

 

Would be grateful for your advice.
