CIOB fellow Michael Parrett has compiled a book of peer-reviewed articles on the subject of building issues and their influence on health.

Building Defects & Your Health is a compilation of techniques that looks at the understanding of building issues, the influence they have upon the health of the occupiers and the impact that use and occupation of a building can have on problems developing inside the building.

Parrett is an expert in building pathology and holds a master’s in Interdisciplinary Design for the Built Environment. A producer of industry training films, lectures and articles on investigating dampness in buildings including flooding, condensation and mould, he first came to public notice through the BBC2 series Raising The Roof.

Proceeds from this publication will go towards fighting childhood cancer.
