UKCMB Deputy Academic Director Dr Yasemin Didem Aktas and UKCMB affiliate Spyros Efthymiopoulos have
collaborated with Building Services Research and Information Association (BSRIA) in developing a topic guide on mould in buildings.
Mould and dampness constitute an issue that affects millions of buildings every year. Dampness refers to signs of water damage on building materials due to excess moisture in the air or within the materials. On the other hand, moulds are living microorganisms that grow on surfaces forming darker spots and can move through the air.
The TG26 Mould in Buildings BSRIA topic guide includes sections on:
- Determinants of mould in a building context
- Mould diagnostics
- Mould mitigation strategies
