Repairing Mould and Moisture Damage (3 cr)

Objective

The students will be able to plan alternative repairs for a structure damaged by damp and microbes. They will be aware of the demands of building solutions, and the combined functioning of physical features in buildings and various materials. The students will know how to compile demolition instructions for a site damaged by microbes taking into account personal safety and protection of the environment.

Content
