For those considering methods to prevent condensation,

Condensation frequently appears in facilities that lose heat to radiative cooling , are covered in snow, or are affected by steam. This can cause a myriad of problems from the proliferation of mold in a facility to direct damage to products stored within. The Roof Umbrella abates radiation to help abate condensation.

The Various Causes of Condensation

• Condensation on the inside of a roof caused by snow
  A roof covered in snow is much cooler than the inside of the structure. The warm air touches the cooler surface, causing condensation to form on the inside. The Roof Umbrella prevents the roof (metal) from coming into direct contact with snow. This keeps the roof from getting too cool, thus abating condensation.
• Condensation on roofs caused by the effects of radiative cooling
  Radiative cooling frequently occurs on clear nights with little wind throughout the seasons of fall, winter, and early spring. It is especially prevalent in areas like basins or hollows surrounded by mountains and hills where cold air tends to gather. The Roof Umbrella helps to prevent radiative cooling by protecting the roof from the effects of the atmosphere instead of the absent clouds. This, in turn, keeps the roof from losing warmth.
