Building products company, CSR, is calling for an increased focus on condensation management in homes, saying it has largely been overlooked as a critical building science issue.
According to CSR, while condensation damage affects thousands of homes and apartment blocks each year, the problem often goes un-noticed by home owners until expensive repairs are required.
The company says that even before visual damage occurs, conditions are often conducive to mould and rot occurring.
To bring the issue to the forefront, CSR has undertaken scientific modelling to shine more light on condensation and how it can be managed through building design and renovation projects for existing residences.
