WUFI badgeWUFI workshops -  computer modeling of hygrothermal (moisture and heat) transfer through walls and roofs.  These workshops, with instruction provided by Oak Ridge National Laboratory  (ORNL) of the United States and the Fraunhofer Institute of Building Physics in Germany, are sponsored by  the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) /Building Enclosure Technology and Environment Council (BETEC) and others.  Each student brings his/her own laptop, receives software with a temporary license, and will run simulations.  The computer modeling enables the user to diagnose or design wall configurations within a user-specified geographic region for which NOAA has gathered weather data for decades.  Even mold growth in the building can be predicted using this model.
