Upcoming webinars
STBA paper: Moisture properties of insulation materials and their applicability to traditional construction
16 September
This webinar introduces an STBA (Sustainable Traditional Buildings Alliance) paper, authored by UCL and funded jointly by HE, HES and CADW, in partnership with NI-DfC. The project panel will discuss key concepts and their relevance to the retrofit of traditional construction.
The paper introduces moisture-related characteristics of insulation systems, examining main considerations, interactions between different materials and their applicability to the retrofit of traditionally constructed buildings. It defines technical terminology and provides an overview of key concepts, practical guidance, and current knowledge gaps. It outlines how heat and moisture move through insulated fabric and why relying on a single material property when specifying systems can be misleading.
