Why a focus on condensation management is important in design and construction Condensation and mould growth within external walls and roofs can pose significant health risks and lead to the deterioration of building materials, including insulation, boards, and framing. Recognising these challenges, our team of certified consultants utilise advanced hygrothermal modelling software to perform thorough condensation analysis and management assessments. This approach allows for accurate prediction of potential mould growth based on specific conditions such as substrate material, temperature, and relative humidity. Our consultants offer expert advice to mitigate the risk of mould development within your building. Our strategies to ensure compliance with the latest National Construction Code (NCC) requirements offering peace of mind that your building remains safe and healthy for its occupants and adheres to current construction standards.

Have you seen Mark Halliday's insightful article in the RCI Magazine this month: "Can you futureproof your spec against future regulation?" (Page 26)? Mark, Divisional Facade & Technical Manager at ARBO, looks at the challenges specifiers face in ensuring the compliance, safety, and sustainability of building materials throughout a structure's lifecycle. In a world where accountability for project longevity is crucial, anticipating future standards becomes paramount. The article examines the evolving landscape of facade safety post-Grenfell, addressing the need for continuous improvement in material choices. Notably, it introduces EPAM®, a next-gen Class A fire-rated facade solution that not only enhances fire safety but also improves buildability and performance. With regulatory changes in the Building Safety Act, the construction industry is now more accountable, emphasizing the importance of proactive, future-oriented choices in building design and construction. Let's engage in a conversation about the challenges and opportunities in futureproofing our projects for a safer, sustainable, and compliant built environment.
