You'd be forgiven for thinking that people in the Western World live in relatively good conditions - but did you know that nearly half of all houses in Europe and North America have serious damp and mold problems.Those who rent their homes, particularly on the lower end of the market, will no doubt have come across mold infestations when looking at properties.However the majority of folks don't

Dehumidification and cooling are the main functions that portable air conditioners have. You can cool down your attic or room on the spot, or you can use them as space heaters or fans. The problem with them is their price. They´re mobile, trouble free and much easier to install than it would be if you would put in a window unit. Still, a window is still needed in the vicinity to vent the hot air

Indoor air pollution may not sound too serious, but it does contribute to some terrible diseases like, asthma, respiratory infections, and even lung cancer. You need to be very concerned with pollution indoors because lung disease, every year, claims 335,000 American lives. People constantly warn you of the harmful effects of giant factories, and exhaust from motor vehicles; however they do not

Why is  mold in the basement so common? The answer is rather simple, actually. Most of the houses that experience the occurrence of basement mold are likely to have leaks in their basements or unseen water entry ways. This wet or humid environment is ideal for the growth of mold.  In fact, many basements have mold, but the homeowners never even know it! What we have learned about mold is the

From the dawn of time mold has been on this planet. It comes in a variety of forms and colors and is caused by fungus growth. The spores of mold can cause the spread of this organism and certain factors can spur its growth. Mold needs a source of food, dampness, humidity and the spores themselves to be able to evolve. Mold is present outdoors as well as inside. Typical places that mold grows are

A home air conditioning unit is a great thing to have in your home. It's important that you get the right kind of air conditioning unit since not all models are appropriate for all homes and weather conditions. Your best investment might just be a multi-use air conditioner unit. If your air conditioner includes a dehumidifier your rooms will be more comfortable and you won't be breathing in

One of the biggest problems with basements is that they tend to be cold and moist which leads to mold. Basement mold is not only ugly but it is also dangerous to both children and adults by contributing to allergies and asthma. Any basement design ideas you have should address the mold factor and work to make sure it does not become a problem. One of the best way to make your basement floors

Passive Solar Energy Solar panels can be used to create the type of solar energy that does not require mechanical aid called passive solar energy. This type of technology uses sunlight to provide heating and cooling of water and air. This quite interesting in that the very design and location of a home will be based on this technology. The altitude of the sun in winter and summer, the

You’ve decided to replace your floor with bamboo. You buy the materials that you need and bring them home. Now what? How do you install your new floor properly so you can enjoy it for many years? One of the first steps you should take is to inspect your materials. Bamboo is a natural material and will have slight variations in color. Any material that has serious defects should be returned to the

The best inside relative humidity level is either 35% to 45% or 40% to 50% depending on who you speak to.  Fortunately, the human body is quite flexible and you do not have to aim at an exact figure.  The important thing is to avoid extremes.  Living indoors is not completely natural.  The artificial environment we create for ourselves can sometimes cause extremes of humidity to occur.  For short

Believe it or not, the air within modern homes can be upwards of five times more contaminated than outside air. When you also take into account that we can spend up to ninety percent of our lives inside, the term sick building syndrome should need little explanation. Inside pollutants like dust, pet dander, tobacco smoke, mold spores and pollen tend to be continually recycled which ultimately
