The seminar will cover:

• The impact of moisture on solid walls
• Primary drivers of moisture ingress
• Building physics and how the wall functions before and after applying insulation
• The necessity of moisture management
• The importance of using diffusion open materials to ensure structural safety and longevity
• Thermal insulation materials: types, uses, environmental impact
• Using natural insulation to reduce CO2 emissions and energy costs
• What to avoid and best practice solutions depending on property and condition of existing wall
• Case study discussion of proven approaches
• Installation and application guidance to avoid pitfalls
• Discussion of various solid wall insulation systems using scaled ‘real-life’ practical models
