Concerns about indoor exposure to mold has been increasing as the public becomes aware that exposure to mold can cause a variety of health effects and symptoms, including allergic reactions. This course presents guidelines for the remediation/cleanup of mold and moisture problems in commercial buildings. Additionally, using this knowledge of remediation methods can assist an engineer in the design of HVAC systems by increasing knowledge of how the design, installation and maintainability of the system can help prevent the opportunity for mold to grow in the HVAC system and building.

In this course the engineer with little or no experience with mold remediation should be able to make a reasonable judgment as to whether a mold situation can be handled in-house or if more knowledgeable experts are needed.
