Condensation and moisture-related defects continue to be one of the most common causes of building performance failures.
Permavent has launched its RIBA-approved CPD, Management of Moisture in Buildings – Pitched Roofing Designs, helping architects, specifiers, housebuilders and construction professionals understand why condensation can still occur in design-compliant roofs.
The session examines moisture movement, dew point, airtight construction and ventilation, alongside guidance in BS 5250:2021 and NHBC Standards. It also explores how roofing underlay selection, roof coverings, complex details and integrated solar systems affect condensation risk.
Attendees will gain practical guidance to support informed specifications, reduce post-completion defects and protect long-term roof performance.
The CPD is delivered by Permavent’s technical team and is available to practices nationwide, free of charge.
