Indoor climate during construction
Indoor climate during the construction phase: prevent condensation, mold, and delays
During the construction phase, the indoor climate is constantly changing due to weather influences, construction moisture, and finishing activities. These fluctuations have a major impact on drying processes, material behavior, and the moment when finishing work can be carried out safely. Inscio monitors the indoor climate in real time, so that construction teams know exactly when there is a risk of condensation, mold, or drying delays.
Why indoor climate is so important during construction
The indoor climate largely determines whether materials dry on time, whether structures remain stable, and whether finishing work can begin safely. In practice, however, the indoor climate during the construction phase is:
- unpredictable due to weather conditions
- varying due to temporary openings, ventilation, and construction activities
- full of building moisture after plastering, painting, flooring, and wet processes
- temperature-sensitive, which affects dew point and condensation
These changes often lead to:
- delayed drying of floors, CLT, biobased insulation, and roof construction
- condensation on cold surfaces or in structures
- risk of mold growth
- problems with finishing (gluing, leveling, installing finishes)
- failure costs due to premature continuation of construction
That's why understanding indoor climate isn't a luxury — it's essential risk management.
What does Inscio measure?
What Inscio measures during the construction phase
Temperature
- understanding heating and cooling
- detection of cold zones where condensation quickly forms
Relative humidity (RH)
- construction moisture after wet processes
- effect of ventilation and heating
- recognition of areas that do not dry sufficiently
Dew point
- real-time calculation of condensation risk
- alert for temperature-RH combinations that become critical
Typical risks that Inscio sees in projects
- Condensation behind insulation or on CLT/roof sections
- Cement screeds remaining wet despite apparently good ventilation
- Mold growth in biobased insulation or facade components
- Premature finishing, causing materials to trap construction moisture
- Highly variable RV, causing materials to swell or tear
- Stagnant drying during cold periods
These risks arise unnoticed — and without monitoring, they only become apparent once damage has already occurred.
- Inscio transforms moisture management from ad hoc inspections to continuous risk management
How Inscio helps you during construction
Real-time insight
Temperature, RH, and dew point are continuously measured and translated into risks.
Automatic signaling
The software immediately reports when moisture levels rise or drying stops.
Assess without guesswork
You can see exactly when the construction moisture has disappeared and the finishing phase can safely begin.
Subcontractor support
No more discussions about planning too early or too late — the data speaks for itself.
Efficient ventilation and heating
Understanding what really helps, rather than what just seems logical.
