Dataloggers help 30-year-old school overcome mold problems
With outdoor humidity rates near a constant 100% during the summer months, Houston is quickly becoming known as one of the world's moldiest cities. Many of the area's insurance carriers have seen a significant increase in mold claims in recent years, and in the past two years alone, carriers have paid more than $1 billion in mold settlements.
While virtually all types of buildings and structures in Houston are susceptible to mold growth, area schools are among the most affected. Those allowing fresh air in on a regular basis are particularly affected.
