NCC 2022 calls for increased energy efficiency and has some provisions for condensation management, but they alone will not be enough to avoid many problems.
Increasing building energy efficiency without paying due attention to causes of condensation and mould carries substantial risks. In this session we will:
- Learn about different sources of moisture in new and existing buildings
- Learn strategies to design and construction for reduced condensation and mould risk
- Learn strategies for ventilation to reduce moisture risk
Design for condensation avoidance; Construction techniques to reduce moisture risk; Simple ventilation strategies to reduce moisture.
