A roof over your head: roof space ventilation and condensation management

A roof over your head: roof space ventilation and condensation management
What’s really going on in your roof space?
Condensation in roof spaces continues to wreak havoc — especially in Australian homes with low-pitched metal roofs. It’s uncomfortable, unhealthy and avoidable.
In this practical and timely session, building envelope specialist Andy Russell breaks down the key risk factors and compliance requirements affecting modern roofs. He’ll walk you through condensation management strategies for different roof types and unpack the changes introduced in NCC 2022 — so you can design with confidence and avoid costly surprises.

Key takeaways

• Understand why low-pitched metal roofs are particularly vulnerable
• Explore design solutions to reduce condensation risk across different roof profiles
• Gain clarity on roof space ventilation requirements under NCC 2022
• Learn practical ways to improve thermal performance, comfort and air quality

Why attend
This session is ideal for:
• residential and multi-residential building designers
• energy assessors involved in building envelope evaluations
• anyone seeking to improve roof performance and reduce defect risk
If you’ve ever lost sleep over moisture damage, insulation performance or tricky NCC roof provisions — this is your chance to gain clarity.
