Humidity is a piece of defining the dew point. They're two sides of the same coin

For research, I have ms in mechanical engineering focused on building energy systems and have worked in commercial construction for years.

Ive lived in Canada and Chicago.

Indoor dew point and indoor surface temperature are all thats required. Air flow can vaporize condensate, but wont prevent its formation.

    This radiator was not placed to heat the room.

    Yeah bullshit, anyone with a basic understanding of “building energy systems” would understand that radiators are placed underneath windows to heat/condition and provide airflow to (see link in previous comment for why this is so important) a room. It’s thermodynamics.

    Without airflow, a couch against a wall, or curtains and blinds on a window, creates a pocket. Where if the room was properly conditioned, it could still have condensation and mold since there’s no airflow to mix the air.
