The following session, Damp, Environmental Monitoring, Drying out Fire & Flood Damaged Buildings (Threats to our Cultural Heritage & Building Fabric) was led by Mr. Huw Lloyd. 

After a break and a welcome buffet lunch, Dr. Jagjit Singh presented the final lecture on Dry Rot (A threat to our Architectural Heritage & Building Fabric).  This briefing presented ways forward for architectural, engineering and scientific sustainable solutions.

Practical demonstrations were given for diagnostic, non-destructive inspection, damp and moisture monitoring, Resistograph inspection of timber decay, dry rot, wet rots and mould.   These methods were discussed in detail around the instrumentation and specimen table.
