127 - INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO INDOOR AIR QUALITY MOULD AND MOISTURE MANAGEMENT

session sponsored by

Fueled by media hype and the efforts of a new and growing army of "Mould is Gold" consultants with the help of plaintiff 's attorneys, the issue of IAQ and related mould and moisture problems has been spun as the new asbestos, a plague to commercial and public buildings and a threat to the health of occupants. Coupled with this the liability and property insurance industry has responded by withdrawing coverage for mould claims associated with moisture in buildings. Prudent property management companies have responded to this new and important challenge by implementing Pro-Active IAQ and Moisture Management Programs across their portfolios of properties. This session is intended to clear up much of the misinformation that is circulating in the industry and to demystify the IAQ and mould and moisture issues in buildings for the construction, property management and real estate industries. The session starts with an overview of health, construction and remediation standards and guidelines for IAQ and mould and moisture control, followed by a discussion of cost-effective proactive solutions for IAQ mould and moisture control being implemented by property management companies across Canada and conclude with an introduction to new moisture and IAQ sensor technologies and Web-based communication protocols.
