Dew Point & Surface Condensation Calculator

Calculate dew point from air temperature and relative humidity and compare it with a surface temperature.

How it works

Calculate dew point from air temperature and relative humidity and compare it with a surface temperature.

Formula:
Magnus approximation: γ = ln(RH/100) + aT/(b+T); Tdew = bγ/(a−γ).
Before you use the result: Do not use simplified thermal or moisture estimates as a substitute for a complete building-physics assessment.

Practical use

Use verified material data and project geometry. Treat results as planning estimates and compare them with the energy/thermal requirements that apply to the project.

  • Keep units consistent with the source information.
  • Use project-specific densities, pack sizes and coverage rates where provided.
  • Round purchasing quantities to supplier packaging and delivery rules.
