New Practice for Determining Interior Surface Temperatures for Condensation Assessment of Fenestration Systems
1. Scope
This test method covers requirements and guidelines and specifies calibration procedures required for the measurement of the surface temperatures of fenestration systems installed into a test chamber or for in-laboratory commercial mock-up.
Keywords
Condensation Resistance, surface temperature, thermal transmittance, dew point, relative humidity, U-factor, saturation point, pychrometric chart
Rationale
The standard is needed so one singular method is referenced in building project specifications. It will be used by fenestration manufacturers and by project specification writers/developers.
