Curse of Condensation Tackled in New Course
The growing problem of condensation is being put under the spotlight by a leading trade association, in a course targeted at property and facilities construction professionals.
The Property Care Association is to hold a workshop in September giving guidance on how to deal with condensation and damp.
The course is being held at the PCA's Northampton training centre on September 18, 2008.
Entitled ‘Condensation and Dampness In Buildings, The Facts and Practical Assessment', the course outlines how modern living conditions - including central heating, double glazing and sealed air gaps - have all led to an increase in the amount of condensation in UK properties.
The one day session is open to both PCA members and non members.
The course is also aimed at surveyors, architects, building inspectors, and maintenance and remedial surveyors.
It is being led by Graham Coleman, who specialises in laboratory and consultancy services examining dampness and timber infestation problems in buildings.
Steve Hodgson, deputy director of the Huntingdon based Property Care Association, which represents the UK damp proofing, structural waterproofing and structural maintenance industry, said: "The purpose of the workshop is to promote a better understanding and diagnosis of dampness in buildings and the unhealthy environments that can be encountered.
"As well as dealing with condensation and a practical workshop on condensation identification, it will also cover other forms of dampness in order to identify these from condensation."
The practical session will use instruments to make condensation assessments and the assessment of environmental and living conditions.
A range of training is available from the PCA relevant for construction professionals. To find out more log onto the Association's website www.property-care.org or telephone 0870 1216737.

Notes To Editors
The Property Care Association (PCA) - has been in existence for four years, as part of the British Wood Preserving and Damp-proofing Association (BWPDA) but in 2006 officially became an independent association, along with the Wood Protection Association.
The new Associations have been created to concentrate on their own areas of expertise - namely for the Property Care Association damp proofing, structural waterproofing and structural maintenance.
Although a relatively new trade body, the Property Care Association has inherited the stability and professional strengths of the BWPDA and its 75 year history.
