Course
Building Pathology
Sustainable Construction and Development
£539.00
Overview
Problems in buildings are often misdiagnosed and therefore a building pathological approach is essential to arrive at the correct diagnosis in solving problems. Building pathology ensures a forensic approach. A proper understanding of a building is essential for many reasons ranging from decisions on purchasing a building to decisions on major investment in terms of adaptation or retrofitting. It is therefore paramount that understanding the building pathology will ensure proper diagnosis.
This course provides the essential principles and practices of building pathology and the principles of building failure. It will describe the inspection process as well as monitoring and the equipment that is necessary along with the level of competencies required. It will focus on looking for the symptoms of problems externally and internally including the effects of use and the environment, including the changing environment due to climate change and how to determine the cause of problems and deal with their remediation.
It will also consider how to determine suitability for different types of uses of a particular building. Ascertaining problems caused by adaptation and retrofitting of buildings will also be covered.
Members gain 3 CIOB CPD points when you reflect on the ethical aspects of your learning from this activity.
