High airtight houses and mold

In recent years, the damage caused by mold in homes has been increasing. One of the reasons for this is the higher airtightness of houses. With high airtightness and high insulation, a humid environment is created, which accelerates mold contamination. Mold can develop if there is condensation on windows and walls, dust, and nutrients present. Among these, condensation can be said to be a closely related environmental condition for mold growth. Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air is cooled. To suppress condensation and prevent mold growth, it is effective to ventilate frequently to prevent humidity from accumulating indoors.
