E87. The problems with condensation with special guest Clarence from Ionic Constructions (Part 2)
Manage episode 475086988 series 3481638
In the second part of our two-part series which follows on from the previous episode, Amelia and Frank discuss with special guest Clarence from Ionic Construction a deeper look into one of the most overlooked challenges in the construction industry—condensation.
They discuss poorly designed and constructed homes that are not just inefficient; they can lead to major moisture issues, mould growth, and long-term structural damage. In this episode, they discuss why condensation is a critical issue, how outdated building standards contribute to the problem, and what designers and builders need to do to create healthier, more durable homes.
They also explore how Tasmania, despite its small size, is leading the way in pushing for higher industry standards. With some of the country’s top industry leaders and a unique approach to construction, the state has become a testing ground for better building practices. By moving beyond the bare minimum requirements and embracing smarter design solutions, we can reduce condensation risks and create homes that stand the test of time.
If you're in the building industry or planning a home, this episode is packed with insights on why condensation matters and what can be done to tackle it. Tune in now!
