Condensation calculator
Use this component to calculate the Dew Point, Relative Humidity and Condensation on each layer of a wall. It accounts the air films (internal and external).

Inputs
| Name | ID | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cnstr Name | _cnstrName | EnergyPlus construction name | Goo |
| Surface Type | surfaceType_ | An integer value from 0 to 3 that represents one of the following surface types: 0 - Exterior Wall/Window 1 - Exterior Roof 2 - Exposed Floor | Goo |
| Internal Temp | _internalTemp | Indoors temperature of room | Goo |
| Out Temp | _outTemp | Outdoors temperature of room | Goo |
| Internal Relative Humidity | _internalRelativeHumidity | Indoors relative humidity | Goo |
| :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: | :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: | Script variable HB_CondensationCalculator | Goo |
| Base Point | _basePoint_ | An optional point with which to locate the 3D chart in the Rhino Model. The default is set to the Rhino origin at (0,0,0). | Goo |
| Scale | _scale_ | The scale of the surface type section. The default is set to 1. | Goo |
| Bake It | bakeIt_ | An integer that tells the component if/how to bake the bojects in the Rhino scene. The default is set to 0. Choose from the following options: 0 (or False) - No geometry will be baked into the Rhino scene (this is the default). 1 (or True) - The geometry will be baked into the Rhino scene as a colored hatch and Rhino text objects, which facilitates easy export to PDF or vector-editing programs. 2 - The geometry will be baked into the Rhino scene as colored meshes, which is useful for recording the results of paramteric runs as light Rhino geometry. | Goo |
