Moisture in buildings: an integrated approach to risk assessment and guidance.

There's a growing understanding that traditional moisture risk approaches are inadequate. This is because of changes to how buildings are constructed and used, and a greater understanding of why moisture causes buildings to fail.

This Paper:

Describes why the approach to moisture in buildings needs to change
Explains the limitations of current moisture risk assessment standards and regulations
Proposes a way forward, using a new whole building approach
Sets out the principles of the whole building approach
Outlines how we should tackle moisture risk assessment and design in future
