Preface
This book constitutes the capstone of a line of research about expert inspection systems for individual building elements. It builds on that research and presents a broader approach for the building envelope. That approach is not simply a sum of the information collected for individual types of non-structural building elements and materials used in the building envelope. It tries to summarise the complexity of several building elements and materials in a harmonised system of inspection, dealing with pathology in a comprehensive manner, trying to balance conciseness and particular characteristics. That philosophy also extends to diagnosis methods that may be useful to be performed on-site to help characterise the defect and confirm its causes, and to repair techniques, which in the course of action a surveyor may recommend to the decision-mak
