Re: Mold seems to be everywhere

It's time for you to monitor your indoor %RH. To prevent mold

growth, maintain <50%RH throughout your home. During wet cool weather

in a green grass climate, you need 90 pints of dehumidification per

2,500 sqft. of living space. Ideally, you also need 50-75 cfm of

fresh clean make-up air ventilation when the home is occupied. This

pruges indoor pollutants and renew oxygen. In addition to controlling

mold, other biologicals like dust mites are also eliminated from your

home. <50%RH also makes your home more comfortable at warmer

temperatures. This a job for special high efficiency dehumidifiers

that are a notch up from typical residiental dehus.
