Poor indoor air quality will have an adverse effect on both the health and welfare of the occupants and the structure of the home. Both visible and hidden damage to the structure may be caused by prolonged buildup of moisture levels in the walls and attic.
Methods to improve and control air quality include:
• ventilation (primary solution)
• filtration (air cleaning)
• air conditioning
• dehumidification
• humidification (humidity to be kept between 30-50 %)
• local exhaust fans
