Condensation Problems Tackled With PCA Training Course

March 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Ways of tackling the problem of condensation are put under the spotlight in a course from national trade body, The Property Care Association.



With initiatives that promote the introduction of insulation and the elimination of drafts, condensation is a growing problem.



Air exchange is often reduced after insulation is installed as is the buildings ability to get rid of excess moisture.



This can result in high levels of atmospheric moisture and problems associated with condensation - a growing concern for many homeowners and landlords, which is set to become even worse in the face of initiatives such as ‘Green Deal.’



The course entitled ‘Condensation and Dampness In Buildings,’ offers a comprehensive insight into the subject and gives delegates information on how the problem can be identified monitored and remedied.



The one day course takes place at the PCA’s training centre, located in Huntingdon, on May 23, 2012 and is aimed at surveyors, architects, building inspectors, environmental health officers and social housing professionals.



Steve Hodgson, general manager of the PCA, said: “This course aims to provideinformation and guidance on the problems of condensation.



“Those taking part will learn how to recognise the symptoms of condensation, water penetration and damp, identify the causes and provide the remedies.



“The course also investigates how modern living conditions - including central heating, double glazing and sealed air gaps - have all led to an increase in the amount of condensation inUKproperties.”
