3 Background Stone decay sequence

4 Background Salt weathering Controlled by temperature and moisture regimes Wetting Rapid temperature changes Multiple flaking

5 Background Climate change scenario Higher frequency of more temperate winters and warm summers Winters become wetter extreme amounts of precipitation Summer intensity of severe rain increase Sea levels continue to rise Effects on building stone Higher temperatures Higher precipitation Wind-driven rain Combination effects ( temperature + precipitation + wind ) Increased salinity of ground water

6 Background Attribution of defect types in buildings 5% of the defect types are attributed by dampness

7 Background Quarterly output of construction industry in UK Total output in billion Around 35% contributed by repair, maintenance and improvement
