The Need...

​Professionals and building occupants in every discipline and indoor environment need to learn about mold:  what causes contamination, how to prevent it, and most importantly, how to identify and implement common-sense, best practice approaches to resolve mold concerns.  
 
Why?
 

Despite years of attention to the risks to health from mold exposure indoors and development of strategies to prevent and address indoor mold, there is still so much we don’t know.

 

  • We have no understanding of how much mold is too much mold

  • We have no set standards for for testing methods and analysis

  • We have no set standards for how to interpret mold test results

 

When the answers aren’t clear, how do you decide what to do? When is testing useful? What can the results actually tell you? And how can you tell the difference between a necessary response and an expensive overreaction, while still doing the best for your building or your client?

 

Get answers:

 

At the Mold & Moisture in Buildings Conference, you'll have the opportunity to explore these questions with experienced investigators, remediators, building scientists, building owners and managers, and health professionals. Through real-world case studies and candid discussions, learn to ask better questions, recognize questionable claims, and make informed decisions about preventing and addressing mold. You don’t need every scientific uncertainty resolved to take practical steps toward a healthier building.
