Alpana,
You might try MOIST, a free software program you can use to calculate
temperature profiles and dew point in wall assemblies. Check out this URL
for details:
<http://www.bfrl.nist.gov/863/moist.html> www.bfrl.nist.gov/863/moist.html.
MOIST is a one-dimensional, steady-state analysis, and there are other
considerations that have to be taken into account when analyzing dew point.
Among them are; seasonal and diurnal variation in wall temperature and RH;
the edge effects of studs, windows and framing; the dynamics of wetting and
drying in a cavity; and how a vapor barrier is used.

Hi,
I was wondering if there is some way of modeling the effect and extent of
the vapor pressure, dew point and condensation within walls?
