Roof Void Ventilation and the Control of Condensation

Description

This CPD is designed to educate and enlighten architects and specifiers about issues relating to interstitial condensation, typical scenarios and conditions which contribute to the likelihood of interstitial condensation forming and the possible effects that it can have on the structure. It will also point up the relevant parts of British Standard BS5250 that relate to ventilation of roof structures and will show how proprietary products can help to meet these requirements. It will help you to understand the following topics: - Interstitial condensation and its causes - The importance of the Vapour Control Layer (VCL) - The principles of roof void ventilation as set out in British Standard BS5250 - How much ventilation is required - Ways in which products can help achieve the requirements and ventilate correctly This CPD is also available as an online presentation.
