Despite better awareness of energy conservation needs – and changes to building regulations that have influenced design and occupier behaviour – moisture in buildings is still a pressing issue.
Property professionals and owners need to be able to distinguish between condensation and dampness and recognise their causes. On this short course, you'll focus on diagnosing causes of moisture and dampness, and explore treatment, removal of the moisture source, and drying down the environment.
