In this paper, we compare the predictions of interstitial condensation by the steady-state method and the transient method under different climate conditions in China. Simulations reveal significant differences between the two methods, and the wind-driven rain also plays an important role. As a result, the transient hygrothermal simulation considering wind-driven rain should be recommended instead of the steady-state method for predicting interstitial condensation under complicated climate conditions.
