New Tool Predicts Building Moisture and Mold Problems
Suppose there was a tool that could predict the likelihood of whether your building would fail. What if this tool could also provide you with information to help decrease risk factors? Liberty Building Forensics Group for the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards believe they have created that tool.
NCARB, which represents nearly 40,000 architects worldwide, is launching a new online continuing education monograph that captures the updated version of a formerly released manual and provides CEU credits for registered architects. The monograph contains moisture-prediction guidelines adapted from a mold and moisture manual developed for the Disney Corporation and CH2M Hill in the early 1990s. These guidelines, tested on thousands of hotels, resorts, student housing, multifamily, and healthcare buildings, are as accurate now as they were 20 years ago.
