Free Continuing Education Course Launched to Assist Multifamily Housing Professionals Manage Excess Moisture and Prevent Mold in Apartments

OCEAN ISLE BEACH, N.C., Oct. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's energy code requirements have progressively made apartments and condominiums much "tighter" with respect to air movement.  At the same time, traditional HVAC systems do not currently offer an appropriately sized air conditioning system for residential applications with smaller footprints.  Often, the result is pent-up moisture.  When normal resident behaviors such as cooking, cleaning and showering are introduced into a well-insulated, tightly constructed dwelling, microbial growth including mold can result.

"Humidity Happens, Mold Doesn't Have To" provides an overview of how to manage moisture and reduce microbial risk in multifamily housing.  Participants in the course will be presented with methods to design, build and operate multifamily housing in such a way as to prevent material damage, corrosion, structural decay and microbial growth.  The course also demonstrates the benefits of using supplemental dehumidifiers specifically design-engineered for apartments or multifamily dwellings.
