They require whole-building context, root-cause diagnosis, respect for permeable traditional fabric, proportionate intervention, explicit uncertainty where evidence is limited, and no commercial bias toward selling a treatment. This is alignment in workflow and prompt design, not certification or endorsement by the organisations behind the statement. --- ## 1. Thermodynamic Calculations & Psychrometrics DampApp Pro™ processes real-time air temperature ($T_a$ in °C), Relative Humidity ($RH$ in %), and Wall Surface Temperature ($T_s$ in °C) using physical constants: ### A. Saturation Vapour Pressure ($e_s$) Runs natively on-device via the Magnus-Tetens formula: $$e_s(T) = 0.6112 \times \exp\left(\frac{17.67 \times T}{T + 243.5}\right) \text{ kPa}$$ ### B. Ambient Vapour Pressure ($e$) $$e(T_a, RH) = \frac{RH}{100} \times e_s(T_a) \text{ kPa}$$ ### C. Specific Humidity / Mixing Ratio ($w$) Used to determine dry-air moisture loading: $$w(e) = 621.98 \times \left(\frac{e}{101.325 - e}\right) \text{ g/kg}$$ ### D. Local Surface Water Activity ($a_w$) Determines absolute moisture concentration at structural thermal bridges (e.g. concrete columns, steel lintels): $$a_w(T_a, RH, T_s) = \frac{e(T_a, RH)}{e_s(T_s)}$$ --- ## 2. Indoor-air-quality and surface-risk aids - The IAQ calculation combines internal temperature, relative humidity, external vapour-pressure context and estimated surface relative humidity. - It presents editable evidence and a sensitivity matrix showing how projected ambient and surface relative humidity change as temperature shifts. - Risk bands are calculation aids for the surveyor. They do not diagnose active mould growth or replace inspection of the building fabric and occupants' circumstances. --- ## 3. Awaab's Law records and timeline planning - A survey can carry an opt-in, editable compliance schedule with target stages for investigation, making safe and repair. - The surveyor can select an indicative damp-and-mould schedule or an emergency-hazard preset, and can override organisation defaults for the individual case. - These dates are planning aids, not statutory determinations. Awaab's Law is phased, the applicable rules depend on tenure and hazard scope, and users must confirm the current official requirements before relying on a schedule. --- ## 4. System Interoperability - **Field readings**: Surveyors can record temperature, relative humidity, surface temperature, moisture and ventilation readings in the relevant survey sections. - **AI Report Wording (Bring Your Own Key)**: AI Polish supports BOTH **Google Gemini** AND **OpenAI / ChatGPT** via a bring-your-own API key model. The surveyor selects the provider and reviews/edits all AI-expanded wording before export. - **Offline reporting**: Report compilation and PDF export can be completed on the device without a network connection. Recorded photographs and available source or attachment timestamps can be carried into the evidence record. - **Parent Licensing Site**: [https://prosurvey.app](https://prosurvey.app) - **Specialist Site**: [https://dampapp.pro](https://dampapp.pro) --- ## 5. Legal & Regulatory Hooks - **UK Renters' Rights Act 2025:** creates powers to introduce a Decent Homes Standard and Awaab's Law requirements in the private rented sector. The private-sector timetable remains subject to consultation and implementation regulations. - **New Zealand Healthy Homes Standards** (mandatory for all private rentals since 1 July 2025): heating, insulation, ventilation, moisture ingress & drainage, and draught stopping — a direct fit for damp, condensation and ventilation evidence. - **Global housing & habitability standards (general):** minimum-standards and habitability regimes for rented and residential property exist across the US, Australia, Ireland, Canada and other jurisdictions. DampApp Pro's offline psychrometric calculations and structured photo evidence can support damp and mould documentation under such regimes generally.
