Persistent dampness from rainwater intrusion, plumbing leaks andcondensation reduces indoor air quality and increases health risks. Inrecent years new instruments and novel techniques have been deployedto help quantify the risks of mold and bacterial growth, and to locatepotential problem areas with more speed and certainty. This seminardescribes several such tools and techniques, including case histories ofresearch to understand microbial ecology in buildings and to reducemicrobial growth risk and energy consumption.
