• Dampness in Dwellings Causes , Effects and Remedies (2nd Edn) published

This revised and update book provides a definition of dampness in each of its forma and helps distinguish between the different forms including condensation. It details the various potential sources, and causes which can result in damage to the building and also damage to the health of occupiers. It is practical in approach and provides an outline of possible solutions considering aspects of building design and construction that can reduce or avoid the risk of damp (and mould). It considers in detail why dampness is a threat to the health of occupiers (and as such provides evidence to support judgements to those using the Housing Health and Safety Rating System or carrying out investigations under Awaab's Law). This book thus shows why there is a need to protect the health of occupiers by removing dampness.
