Appendix G
Mold and Moisture Prevention
Owners, Designers, and Constructors can minimize problems with mold
and moisture in new buildings with special attention to building layout,
exterior wall system design, HVAC system design, improved construction
techniques, and by making use of peer review and building commissioning.
Although not specifically built into the LEED certification process, proper
mold and moisture design and construction approaches lead to more
healthy and intelligent buildings, with improved coordination between
HVAC system design and exterior wall system design, and thus improved
air quality and minimizing opportunities for mold growth.
