Stop Condensation Before It Starts: How WUFI Analysis Predicts Moisture in Building Assemblies
Condensation doesn’t just happen—it can be predicted.
If you’ve ever dealt with mould or moisture issues in your home, you know how frustrating and costly they can be. But what if you could prevent these problems before they even start? Modern building science now offers a way to forecast moisture behaviour in your building's walls, floors, and roofs. Enter WUFI Analysis—the key to predicting condensation and moisture build-up in construction assemblies.

Most people assume condensation is just a side effect of certain weather conditions or poor ventilation. And thats correct! But condensation is also the result of how a building is constructed and how moisture moves through the materials used. If you’re building or renovating, the decisions you make today will determine whether moisture becomes a long-term problem. Poor insulation or using the wrong combination of materials can create the perfect environment for condensation to thrive, leading to mould, structural damage, and reduced air quality.
This is where WUFI Analysis comes in. By simulating how heat and moisture move through various building components, WUFI can predict where condensation is likely to occur. This tool allows architects, builders, and homeowners to make informed decisions about materials, insulation, and ventilation, long before problems arise. With this data, we can design homes that stay dry and healthy, even in humid or fluctuating climates.
Imagine building or renovating with full confidence that your home will remain free of hidden moisture and condensation. WUFI Analysis provides clarity in an area where guesswork often leads to costly mistakes. By analysing moisture transfer, it helps ensure that your walls, roofs, and floors won’t secretly harbour the kind of condensation that leads to long-term problems.
Whether you’re designing a new home or upgrading an older one, you can avoid the common pitfalls of moisture-related damage. With WUFI’s insights, you’re not just fixing today’s problems—you’re preventing tomorrow’s.
Don’t leave moisture control to chance. Start your next project with confidence by using WUFI Analysis to predict condensation and make smarter design choices.
