In an embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to an assembly for preventing condensation on a surface of an object. The assembly may include a condensation mitigation device; a surface temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature; an ambient temperature sensor configured to sense an ambient temperature; and a humidity sensor configured to sense a humidity. The condensation mitigation device may be operably coupled to the surface temperature sensor, the ambient temperature sensor, and the humidity sensor. The condensation mitigation device may be configured to calculate a dewpoint temperature based on the ambient temperature and the humidity; repeat the calculation of the dewpoint temperature for different times; calculate a linear regression for the calculated dewpoint temperatures; and transmit a control signal to begin activating the condensation mitigation device based on the surface temperature, the current dewpoint temperature, and the linear regression for the calculated dewpoint temperatures.
