Masterclass – From Alerts to Action

Why this masterclass is relevant 

This masterclass is relevant for organisations involved in housing delivery, compliance, data and resident safety because it addresses a common challenge across the sector: the gap between environmental monitoring and effective prevention of harm. 

Many housing providers now collect temperature and humidity data to support damp and mould management.

However, data alone does not reduce risk. Without clear interpretation, ownership and integration into operational workflows, environmental monitoring can reinforce reactive practice rather than enable prevention. 

This masterclass focuses on how sensor data can be used alongside surveys, repairs records and professional judgement to identify risk earlier and act more proportionately. It examines what environmental patterns actually indicate about building performance, ventilation, heating and moisture movement within homes. 

The session offers: 

• Practical insight into interpreting environmental data without specialist analytics 

• A clearer understanding of how data supports prioritisation rather than alert overload 

• Examples of how early intervention reduces repeat cases and resident harm 

• Reflection on the organisational conditions required for data to improve outcomes 

The session reinforces that monitoring creates responsibility. Once conditions inside homes are visible, organisations must decide how that insight informs action, investment and engagement with residents. 

Attendance supports a more informed, shared understanding of how environmental data can contribute to prevention led practice, strengthen compliance and protect health under current regulatory expectations. 

Who the masterclass is for 

• Housing association asset, compliance, and repairs leaders 

• Damp and mould, disrepair, and environmental health teams 

• Housing data, digital, and transformation leads 

• Senior managers responsible for Awaab’s Law compliance 

• Organisations already using, or planning to use, IoT sensors in homes 

Why this matters 

Respiratory illness, anxiety, and stress linked to unsafe homes are not inevitable, they are preventable. With Awaab’s Law now in force, housing providers must evidence not only that they respond to damp and mould, but that they actively prevent harm. As more organisations deploy IoT sensors, a new challenge has emerged: how to turn growing volumes of data into confident, timely action rather than alert fatigue and uncertainty. This masterclass exists to address that gap between information and impact.   

What the masterclass covers

• Why trust in data is the difference between monitoring homes and protecting health 

• How sensor data helps distinguish root cause from symptoms in damp and mould cases 

• Practical examples of interpreting temperature and humidity patterns across rooms 

• How poor ventilation, underheating, overcrowding, and leaks present in real data 

• Turning sensor insights into clear workflows that support compliance with Awaab’s Law 

• Lessons from frontline teams using data to reduce repeat visits and reported issues 

• Where AI can support predictive risk identification without replacing human judgement
