Condensation Risk Analysis

There are a large number of factors that need to be considered in assessing and managing condensation risk. Such factors include the local climate, building use, position, thickness and type of bulk insulation, position and integrity of vapour barriers, and the degree and location of mechanical or passive ventilation both in the roof space and the interior. It is highly recommended that designers run a condensation risk analysis

For further information on the risks of condensation please refer to Australian Building Codes Board Condensation Handbook published jointly with the Australian Institure of Architects in 2011.
