Evaluation of priorities for repairing in moisture-damaged school buildings in Finland

We concluded that by examining construction damages of buildings visually, noting the smell and measuring the moisture in surfaces of building materials was possible to decide the order of relative importance for repairings in water-damaged buildings. Also light evaluation of the exposure to fungi and bacteria was succeeded with those methods even if the evaluation was difficult in case of minor moisture damages. The operation of the HVAC systems had no correlation to the concentrations of fungi and bacteria in air, material and surfaces samples.
