Current best practice guidelines for traditional forms of construction may not adequately address the specific moisture management needs of mass timber. This absence of tailored guidance may pose a risk to the structural integrity, health of occupants and long-term performance and durability of these building types if the timber is exposed to prolonged moisture. Developing comprehensive moisture control and management guidelines specifically tailored for MET buildings in Ireland has become a critical need. These guidelines should serve as a vital resource for design professionals and construction operatives, promoting best practices in moisture management across all life cycle stages of MET projects. They should comprehensively address the design, construction and sectional handover phases, providing guidance on protecting timber elements, maintaining optimal drying conditions, removal of water and preventing moisture-related issues. Ongoing long-term monitoring of water ingress, leak detection from services and other reasons for elevated internal relative humidity should also be addressed. Such measures are essential to safeguarding the structural integrity and long-term performance of MET buildings, ensuring their successful and sustainable adoption in Ireland. In addition to developing the moisture control guidelines, it is essential to create supporting Continuing Professional Development (CPD) trainin...
