Optimising Moisture Performance of Saint-Gobain’s Isover Optima Internal Wall Insulation System
Ecosophy Studio supported Saint-Gobain Interior Solutions with dynamic hygrothermal modelling using the WUFI® software family to assess and optimise the moisture performance of their new Isover Optima Internal Wall Insulation System. Parametric simulations across different UK climates and applications informed key design choices ahead of the product’s launch.
Moisture Risk Assessment of the Waynflete Project
Discover how Ecosophy Studio supported the Waynflete Project at Magdalen College, Oxford through advanced hygrothermal modelling of both heritage retrofit and new CLT construction. Using the WUFI® software family, we helped optimise moisture-safe design, improve long-term durability, and support the successful delivery of a sustainable mixed-construction project.
Hygrothermal & 3D Thermal Modelling for Insulation Installers Scotland's Vapour-Permeable Internal Wall Insulation System
Ecosophy Studio presents a case study on the development and optimisation of the Insulation Installers Scotland Vapour-Permeable Internal Wall Insulation System. By combining dynamic hygrothermal simulations with advanced 3D thermal modelling, we helped optimise the system's moisture resilience, minimise thermal bridging, and accurately quantify its real-world thermal performance, supporting a robust, evidence-based retrofit solution.
Moisture Risk Assessment of Internal Wall Insulation at the Allen Gallery
How do you retrofit historic solid walls without creating moisture risk? Ecosophy Studio, in collaboration with Beyond Carbon Associates, used in-situ material testing and extensive dynamic hygrothermal modelling to assess internal wall insulation options at the Allen Gallery, identifying safe insulation limits and supporting durable, moisture-safe retrofit design.
Hygrothermal & 3D Thermal Modelling of the EZY FIT Green Loft Insulation System
Ecosophy Studio presents a detailed case study on the assessment and optimisation of the EZY FIT Green Loft System. Dynamic hygrothermal simulations were carried out with the WUFI® software family in accordance with BS EN 15026 to evaluate moisture behaviour, condensation risk, and long-term durability across multiple UK climates, vapour control strategies, and indoor moisture loads. In parallel, 3D thermal modelling using TRISCO was undertaken to optimise the system design, assess thermal bridging effects, and calculate realistic in-use thermal transmittance.
A Comprehensive Hygrothermal Analysis of the Ezy Fit Green IWI System
Discover how Ecosophy Studio helped Ezy Fit optimise their new hemp-based Green IWI system. Our comprehensive approach with WUFI®, 2D, and 3D analyses informed the design of a sustainable, moisture-safe system, leading to its successful KIWA certification.
Optimising Moisture Performance of Saint-Gobain’s iRoof™ System
Ecosophy Studio was appointed by Saint Gobain Off Site Solutions to undertake dynamic hygrothermal modelling of the iRoof™ system to understand how the system performs in terms of moisture behaviour and thermal stability under different design and environmental conditions. The results informed product development and helped iRoof™ achieve the first BBA certification for a panelised roofing system.
Hygrothermal Assessment of the Jumbo Water Tower Retrofit
Ecosophy Studio worked with QODA Consulting to assess how insulation strategies impact the historic cast-iron tank and roof of the Grade II-listed Jumbo Water Tower, in Colchester, UK. Discover how our hygrothermal modelling supported a moisture-safe, heritage-sensitive retrofit for this landmark redevelopment.
Optimising Moisture Performance of External Wall Insulation: Case Study of the VundaHaus Off-Site Façade System
Discover how Ecosophy Studio’s hygrothermal assessment of the VundaHaus Off-Site Façade System ensured the moisture safety of this External Wall Insulation (EWI) solution.
Ecosophy Studio at the International Conference for Moisture in Buildings (ICMB25)
Discover Ecosophy Studio’s latest hygrothermal research presented at the International Conference for Moisture in Buildings (ICMB25), delving into the moisture risk assessment of internal wall insulation (IWI) methods and their impact on embedded timber joists, using WUFI® modelling.
