Building-type risks
Tenements. Damp, condensation and visible mould — typically a ventilation rather than a heating problem. Humidity & health →
Schools and offices near the M8. Roadside infiltration through windows and undampered intakes; needs ePM1 50% filtration.

What to do
Add mechanical extract or MVHR to dwellings, target 40–60% RH, monitor humidity and CO₂ continuously, and run mould air testing wherever surface staining or persistent musty odour is present. Mould air testing →
