It is well known that damp and mould can cause significant damage to a building and serious health issues for people exposed to it. It’s therefore essential to continually review different factors, from climate change to different types of construction and materials from old to new, that could cause damp and mould to occur.
With the growing demand to retrofit buildings to support energy efficiency and sustainability goals, it’s essential to ensure that significant changes to the building’s air flow and insulation, do not cause the excess of moisture and damp related defects.
This webinar will provide key legislation and essential guidance that professionals should be aware of and kept up to date with, the main causes of damp and mould, how to identify it, and how to advise clients and offer solutions.
Professor John Edwards will share his wealth of knowledge of dealing with damp and mould and the latest policy that surveyors should be aware of.
Dr. Moses Jenkins will discuss challenges around retrofit, condensation and mould in the context of traditionally constructed buildings.
With the cost of energy rising, it’s essential to explore how buildings can meet ambitious energy efficiency targets, whilst avoiding condensation related defects.
