IEQ Applications: Measuring Building Moisture to Thwart Mold Growth

Click here to purchase
Indoor moisture and mold have been linked to adverse healtheffects in building occupants, although specific fungal species have not yetbeen implicated. Microbiologists consider moisture to be the key factor for limitingmold growth in buildings, therefore, identifying excess moisture in buildingsis a key element in triggering remedial action. The development of equilibriumRH sensors or moisture meters could help detect the amount of “free water”available to microorganisms in buildings.
