- Title
Avoidance and diagnosis of problems associated with internal wall insulation.
- Authors
Smith, Matthew
- Abstract
Improving energy efficiency and comfort of traditional buildings affects how moisture moves through the building fabric. Internally insulating solid masonry walls can have a hugely positive impact on comfort, but doing so without regard for this relationship can lead to undesirable consequences, including trapped moisture and mould growth. A well-designed specification informed by a good understanding of the building and its context will preclude any unintended consequences.
