CONDENSATION CONUNDRUMS
CPD Point
Building envelope design is no longer just about keeping out the rain and wind. We are now faced with the challenge of balancing the need to keep out or keep in, and let in or let out cool and warm air, daylight, fresh air, contaminated air, sound, fire and moisture as appropriate for all seasons and all times of the day.
The drive for energy efficient buildings with improved air tightness and insulation has changed the dynamics of the building envelope as insulation, whilst keeping some surfaces warm, also keeps other surfaces cold. Sealing up the building can also prevent the safe passage of water vapour, resulting in potentially damaging condensation on these cold surfaces.
Long perceived to be immune from such problems, Australia has seen an increase in the occurrence and severity of condensation problems across disparate climate zones as standard designs start to fail. The ABCB in recognition of this, published a Condensation Handbook to inform the industry about these risks and to promote best practice.

THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND FACADE DESIGN
Informal CPD
The principles behind the total DCT/Nvelope solution facade design, specification, procurement and ultimately the installation of the facade and support structures, needs to take into account both the Specifiers and the installer’s needs when accommodating not only the NCC’s requirements for Thermal, Fire, Condensation and Air tightness, but making sure the façade material has simple and coherent support structure.
