WUFI Modeling Consultants
Moisture movement is a common reason for envelope failure. Our WUFI modeling consultants use software tools to simulate how heat and moisture behave in walls and roofs. This helps you avoid mold, condensation, and costly errors before the building is even built.
What is WUFI Modeling?
WUFI (Wärme und Feuchte Instationär) is a powerful program that shows how heat and water move through layers of materials. For example, we can test different wall setups to see how well they dry over time or if moisture gets stuck inside. As a result, we can help you choose the best design for your climate and building type.
In addition, WUFI helps prevent long-term issues like corrosion or energy loss. This means better durability, fewer callbacks, and smarter decisions upfront.
Why Use WUFI for Envelope Design?
- Find hidden moisture risks and trapped water
- Check if insulation and vapor barriers are placed correctly
- Adjust wall types for your climate zone
- Meet BECx, LEED, and code rules more easily
- Prevent mistakes that lead to costly fixes
Our WUFI Modeling Services Include:
- WUFI 1D and 2D simulations for walls and roofs
- Help choosing materials and wall setups
- Moisture and drying predictions over the years
- Support for envelope commissioning (BECx)
- Reports and design advice for your team
Case Study: High-Rise Envelope Optimization in Minnesota
Challenge: North-facing walls held moisture due to bad vapor control choices.
Outcome: WUFI simulations showed high risk in winter. We adjusted the wall design to allow indoor drying and reduce trapped moisture.
