Moisture can make its way into a house in a range of ways - exterior, interior, ground and construction. This module focuses on the effects of moisture on houses and the people who live in them.

Topics covered in this self-paced module:

• Where does it come from?
• Why is it important?
• In the past
• Library of useful material

The structure and behaviour of moisture can help us understand why a house is having weathertightness issues and how to design to avoid those issues. Weathertightness issues in houses can lead to health problems, financial headaches and structural worries.

Topics covered in this self-paced module:

• Why is moisture important to understand?
• What form does H₂O take?
• How does it behave?
• Library of useful material

Water vapour is the gaseous form of water. This module focuses on how water vapour and the forces that act on it create condensation in buildings.

Topics covered in this self-paced module:

• Water vapour, pressure and saturation
• Relative humidity and dew point
• Predicting condensation and making design choices
• Library of useful material

The way water is transferred and stored depends on whether the moisture arrives as a liquid or a vapour. This module focuses on how moisture enters materials and how we measure for moisture in materials.

Topics covered in this self-paced module:

• How is moisture transferred to materials?
• How much moisture is stored in materials?
• How do we measure moisture in materials?
• Library of useful material

Achieving weathertightness is all about the principles of water management, which are embodied by the 4Ds - deflection, drainage, drying and durability. This module focuses on how moisture enters buildings and what we can do to manage it.

Topics covered in this self-paced module:

• Principles of water management
• In the past ...
• Applying the principles
• Library of useful material
