Discover more about moisture safe design when retrofitting.
This webinar took place on 12 December 2023 when the Trust launched the 2023 Moisture and EnerPHit Guide, sponsored by Ecological Building Systems, Greengauge, Knauf Insulation and QODA– registering will give you access to the full recording and associated resources.
Retrofitting existing buildings to improve energy efficiency & comfort has the potential to resolve or mitigate moisture issues but also to create problems or exacerbate existing ones. The implications for the building fabric can range from reduced thermal performance to dramatic structural failures. Humid and damp conditions can adversely effect occupant health. The consequences can range from merely annoying to life-threatening.
Do not miss the chance to hear from two knowledgable authors from the latest technical paper and learn first-hand about moisture-safe design while retrofitting. This essential Retrofit Moisture Guide expands upon our retrofit activities and Passivhaus Retrofit Masterclass lecture series.
