Wufi training workshop to be held in Dublin next month
The Building Life Consultancy and Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics are providing a two-day Wufi Pro training workshop in Dublin on 14-15 December.
This is only the third English language workshop of its kind to be offered in Europe according to the Building Life Consultancy, and will train members of the construction industry to use Fraunhofer’s Wufi Pro software for hygrothermal (heat and moisture) simulations of building fabric.

The Building Life Consultancy and
Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics are providing a two-day
Wufi Pro training workshop in Dublin on 14-15 December. This is only
the third English language workshop of its kind to be offered in
Europe according to the Building Life Consultancy, and will train
members of the construction industry to use Fraunhofer’s Wufi Pro
software for hygrothermal (heat and moisture) simulations of building
fabric.
Building Life Consultancy, a
Dublin-based firm specialising in building fabric, uses the software
to assess mould and condensation issues in fabric design. “There is
a real and urgent need for the construction industry to look at the
issue of vapour permeability and design for it in building fabric,”
said architect Joseph Little of the Building Life Consultancy.
“Providing this workshop is one way we are hoping to move the
industry forward to address this issue.”
Misplaced vapour control
layers or insulation within build-ups can have very damaging
consequences, as Joseph Little demonstrated in his Breaking the Mould
series in Construct Ireland over the past year. Little said that Wufi
Pro is a tool that “will help designers, builders and system
suppliers predict and avoid these problems before they become a
reality”.
