The Buildings Hub

Without well thought-out ventilation strategies and properly functioning systems, indoor air quality in dwellings will be compromised, potentially leading to health issues for the occupants and/or damage to the building fabric through condensation and mould. A growing body of research suggests that problems introduced at each stage of the construction process, including the handover process to occupants and maintenance regimes, are creating a ‘gap’ in the actual performance of ventilation systems compared to the design intent or regulatory requirements. It is therefore important that this issue is tackled and The Buildings Hub is seeking to help make this happen.
