April 14th - 15th 2016
Roots and Shoots, Walnut Tree Walk, Kennington, London SE11 6DN
This two-day course provides a practical, hands-on introduction to WUFI® Pro ‘hygrothermal’ numerical simulation, led by expert trainers Joseph Little and Christian Bludau.
Is the building you are designing or retrofitting:
- traditionally built or a protected structure?
- to feature a solid wall or unventilated roof buildup?
- tall or in an area of strong winds?
- damp or considered problematic?
- to be fitted with internal wall insulation?
- to be made very airtight and highly insulated?
- to feature timber in vulnerable positions, like joist ends?
If you are concerned about interstitial condensation, mould or rot then you need to evaluate the risks with WUFI® Pro.
This two-day course provides a practical introduction to WUFI® Pro 'hygrothermal' numerical simulation. It is the world leading simulation software for understanding the risk of interstitial condensation, mould, rot and freeze-thaw in buildings.
Both days of training include hands-on workshops using the software, and you will get the full version of the WUFI® Pro software with a 6-week temporary licence, as well as access to support on the online WUFI® Forum for that period... read more
Who should attend?
The workshop is open to all building professionals, e.g. architects, engineers, surveyors, insulation suppliers, system manufacturers, builders and anyone with a focus on fabric performance. No previous experience with the WUFI® Pro software is required.
About the trainers
Joseph Little, BArch, MSc Arch. AEES
Joseph Little is the principal of Joseph Little Architects and Building Life Consultancy, and also Assistant Head of School at Dublin School of Architecture (DIT). He graduated from the UCD School of Architecture in 1996 and from the Graduate School of the Environment at the Centre for Alternative Technology in 2008. Joseph set-up his own practice in 2003 when he realised that his passion for low energy, environmental building design could only be realised outside of mainstream architectural practices and launched Building Life Consultancy in February 2009.
Joseph’s consultancy has recently held WUFI® hygrothermal training accross the UK and in Dublin with Fraunhofer IBP and thermal bridge training in Dublin. He is the co-author of Historic Scotland Technical Paper 15 - 'Assessing risks in insulation retrofits using hygrothermal software tools - heat and moisture transport in internally insulated walls’, a significant report which was launched on 21st September in Dublin.
Christian Bludau, Dipl.-Ing
Christian Bludau is a researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics, Department for Hygrothermics, in Germany. Christian received his Diploma in Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Munich, Germany in 2001. After his studies he worked as research assistant at the Institute for Building Materials and the Institute for Structural Engineering at the University of the German Armed Forces in Munich.
He has worked as researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics since 2005 and from 2011 he has held a lectureship for building physics / moisture control in building at the University of Applied Sciences in Augsburg. His research interests focus on the hygrothermal conditions in wall and roof constructions with special interests in the thermal behaviour of flat roofs. Christian has been involved in many WUFI® seminars, lessons and workshops during the last few years.
