Dr Marincioni and Dr Altamirano-Medina from the UKCMB, together with Dr Virginia Gori from the UCL Energy Institute, have published a risk management framework integrating energy and moisture to support the retrofit of traditional buildings. The framework has been published as a paper in Buildings and Cities, within the special collection Retrofitting at scale: accelerating capabilities for domestic buildings stocks.

The principle-based risk management framework describes the steps required for moisture risk management at the various stages of the retrofit process. The framework puts into practice the 4 Cs, the four principles of context, coherence, capacity and caution theorised in the BSi white paper on Moisture in Buildings written by Neil May and Dr Chris Sanders.

This systematic approach harmonises those principles needed to support organisations in delivering robust low-carbon retrofits and integrates pre- and post-retrofit building assessment in the process.
