Re: Tips to prevent costly summer mold / also school mold

July 1, 2005

It just occurred to me why school buildings may grow more mold than

other buildings. The fact that they aren't used in the summer or

used less probably means the humidity in building builds up high

since no air conditioning running and also since windows are closed

up. If people using the buildings and no air conditioning, they

would have windows open and fans going or something. I don't know

what schools did before central air but I assume open windows and

fans. I don't think turning up the heat is solution but installing

central dehumidifiers that go all summer long to keep humidty in

buildings down would be answer, ones that ventilate also would be

even better. That would be cheaper than cleaning up the mold or

sick teachers and children. I also doubt it would be as expensive

as air conditioning.

That would explain a lot.

When our older kids were in public school, we would be fine all summer long.

As soon as school started up, everyone would be sick.

Now we homeschool....
