Damp Mould and Condensation Resources for Staff
Simon Jones is the Air Quality Expert / Guru for all things air quality, ventilation etc for the 'Agony Arn' support program. Simon has a podcast "Air Quality Matters" which is recommended viewing for anyone with an interest in the subject.
"Moisture guidance for existing homeowners". This is an excellent 7 minute video. Made for occupiers. It is from the UKCMB (UK Center for Moisture in Buildings).
Link to the Gov.UK page that contains the guidance doc: "Understanding and addressing the health risks of damp and mould in the home." This guidance delivers on the government’s commitment in response to the Coroner’s 'prevention of future deaths' report on the death of 2-year-old Awaab Ishak due to mould in the home. Especially important for staff in Social Housing.
This link goes to the RISE website. The website has lots of resources - not just ones on DMC. This video is c.25minutes long.
This link goes straight to the Youtube video - not to the Rise site. Quite a basic introduction (47:30 long). Ventilation parts are at: 3:45 to 8:40; and from 32:37.
Recording of The Retrofit Academy's Ventilation Summit. This is just shy of 2 hours long. It is also aging now as it is from Dec 2021.
The link goes to the TRA's 'Toolkits' page. Scroll down to download the Ventilation Guide. This doc is aging now (it refers to the previous version of PAS2035), but still some good content here.
This links to the Gov.UK page with the study: "Ventilation and indoor air quality in new homes”. This research investigated the indoor air quality and ventilation provided in new homes. This research is a real eye opener in terms of understanding the extent to which ventilation installations often do not provide the ventilation that is required by Building Regs!
