Thermapen
It’s a combination of a number of factors that causes condensation, damp and mould to develop in our homes. Three key factors that cause these conditions are the room temperature, the humidity level and the internal surface temperature of your windows, walls and ceilings. You can simply monitor these variables using the Aranet4 Home and Thermapen Surface Temperature Sensor.
What do we mean by Humidity? Well Humidity is effectively moisture mainly water vapour that’s held in the atmosphere within our homes, the warmer the air temperature the more moisture it can hold. This moisture will be released onto cold surfaces that are at the Dew Point Temperature.
What is the Dew Point Temperature? This is the temperature that the moisture in the air will turn to Condensation when it hits a cold surface at the ‘Dew Point’ temperature. The Dew Point temperature is based entirely on the air temperature and humidity level within the room. Condensation in the home is most noticeable on the inside of your windows, but it’s also present on other cold surfaces such as walls and ceilings, where it’s not normally noticeable until damp & then Mould begin to form.
