Moisture damage survey of building structures

The structural design and stability of the structure shall not be affected by the system or the design of the structure itself, such as the frame, foundation, roof or walls. RISE may make any or all of the following interpretations that may be necessary to prevent damage or to ensure that no damage occurs.

Moisture experts

Moisture experts at RISE are involved in all or part of the construction process as a support to the developer or contractor to ensure the quality of moisture safety work (ByggaF). RISE conducts research and develops tools for ByggaF to better verify and analyse the moisture safety of structures and materials. The staff are area specialists.

Moisture calculation and mould prediction of building construction

Moisture calculation is a method to clarify relatively quickly whether a construction has theoretical conditions to function well. The result of a moisture calculation is often evaluated with mould simulation. A moisture calculation is relatively resource-efficient compared to other methods such as field measurement or laboratory testing.

Microbial analysis of building materials

Moisture puts buildings at risk for mould damages, with negative consequences to both economy and health. Mould is not acceptable in a building if there is a risk of it affecting the indoor environment. When mould is indicated, or the end users experience problems in the indoor environment, microbial analyses are often used as an investigative aid.
