Builder says MAKING BUILDINGS TIGHTER will prevent mold

[Guest guest]

I hope some of our experts will go to this article and post comments.

" The science of insulation — how much insulation to use and how tight to

make a house — has come a long way, even in the past 10 years. We now

understand that the way to control moisture, which can cause mold and

decay in walls, is by making a home very “tight†and controlling the

air that comes into and out of the house. This is accomplished by using

a small air handler called a heat recovery ventilation unit, or HRV. "
