Dr Cunningham has a wide range of building science-related research interests with numerous published papers particularly in the fields of indoor climate and health effects. He pioneered a very small relative humidity sensor, opening the field of microclimates in microhabitats of dust-mite, mould and other biocontaminants. He consults nationally and internationally on moisture design issues and trouble-shoots extensively for the New Zealand building industry on moisture related problems.
