How is it calculated?

Uses the Magnus approximation: γ = ln(RH/100) + aT/(b+T), Td = bγ/(a−γ), suitable for typical indoor conditions.

Example

Example: At 24 °C and 60% RH, dew point is roughly 15.8 °C.

WHAT CHANGES THE RESULT

Check these before using the estimate

HVAC capacity depends on more than floor area. Volume, solar gain, insulation, glazing, occupants and equipment loads all matter; critical selections require a proper heat-load assessment.

  • Insulation, glazing area and orientation
  • Local design temperature and solar gain
  • Ceiling height plus people and equipment heat loads
  • Real equipment efficiency and installation conditions
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does dew point mean?+

It is the approximate temperature at which condensation begins for the same moisture content.

What if a surface is colder?+

Condensation becomes possible and long-term moisture/mold risk can increase.
