The International Conference on Moisture in Buildings (ICMB) is a biannual event series organised by the UK Centre for Moisture in Buildings (UKCMB) with contributions from academia, practice, policymakers and other stakeholders of a moisture-safe built environment. The UKCMB is an independent, not-for-profit, public good organisation led by University College London (UCL), working on providing multi-sectoral, evidence-based frameworks to address moisture-induced problems in buildings.
