From Alerts to Action
29/01/2026
How housing providers can use sensor data to prevent damp and mould harm before it escalates.
Damp and mould remain one of the most persistent and complex risks in social housing. They sit at the intersection of building performance, resident health, behaviour, fuel poverty and organisational response. With Awaab’s Law now in force, housing providers are required to demonstrate not only timely action, but credible prevention of harm.
The widespread introduction of environmental sensors has increased the availability of data on temperature, humidity and indoor conditions.
