    Abstract This study analysed the moisture performance assessment reports of 76 buildings: 56 schools, nine healthcare buildings, three daycare centres and five office buildings. The researchers’ practical experiences from moisture performance assessments were also made use of in the study. The aim of this study was to determine the methods used to detect moisture and mould damage in the building stock. The results of the study show that most moisture and mould damage is detected by a surface moisture indicator (Annila et al. in Proceedings of the 1st international symposium on building pathology, pp 115–122, 2015a). That is an important finding since these indicators enable easy measuring of large sections of structures and targeting of more detailed inspections, moisture measurements and material samplings based on mapping with them.
