The Importance of Ventilation in Managing Damp and Condensation

Join Sava for a timely and insightful webinar on the vital role of ventilation in buildings, featuring guest speaker Professor Richard Fitton from the University of Salford.

As buildings become increasingly airtight to meet stricter energy efficiency standards, proper ventilation has never been more critical. Inadequate ventilation can lead to condensation, mould growth, poor indoor air quality, and negative health impacts for occupants. Conversely, poorly designed ventilation strategies can compromise energy performance and drive-up costs.

In this session, Richard will explore the delicate balance between energy efficiency and indoor air quality, drawing on research and practical examples to highlight common challenges, unintended consequences, and effective solutions. This session will provide valuable insights for all housing professionals on this important topic.

By attending this session, you will have an understanding of the following:

• The relationship between airtightness and ventilation in buildings, and its impact on energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and occupant health.
• The common risks associated with inadequate or poorly designed ventilation systems, including condensation, mould growth, and unintended consequences for building performance.
• Practical strategies for achieving a balanced approach between energy efficiency and effective ventilation, informed by research and real-world examples.
