Industry Reviews

"As the design of our homes becomes ever more sophisticated, the physics of those buildings becomes critical. Whereas our older building stock were to a certain extent tolerant of error, today's need for airtightness and insulation demand exacting standards. Whilst many professionals may have a working knowledge of dampness and its causes, it is vital that concepts of water transport, condensation and mycology are understood. This book brings together the skills and knowledge of established experts in the field and will provide a valuable link between scientific theory and its practical application." - Trevor Rushton FRICS FCABE, Technical Director, Watts Group Limited
