We have actively engaged with policymakers to shape policies surrounding damp and mould in buildings.

Our contributions include the BSI White Paper on the importance of standards for energy retrofit, BS40101 on Building Performance, UK Government guidance on health risks of damp and mould, BS 5250:2021 Management of Moisture in Buildings, PAS 2030, 2035, and 2038, and involvement in the BSI Retrofit Standards Task Group, among others.
