Preventing and combating mold formation: Tips from the energy advice of the NRW Consumer Center

According to a report by www.verbraucherzentrale.nrw,
Mold in living spaces can pose a serious problem, both for the health of the residents and for the structure of the building. The development of mold is largely promoted by moisture and a lack of ventilation. Incorrect living habits can therefore promote the formation of mold. For this reason, it is important to take preventive measures to avoid mold growth. This includes regular ventilation, avoiding moisture accumulation and using efficient heating systems.

In addition, energy measures such as the renovation of thermal bridges and the insulation of buildings can also help to prevent the development of mold. In the event of mold infestation, consistent treatment is required to stop the spread and eliminate the causes.

These measures not only have an impact on the health of residents, but also on the market for construction and renovation measures and on energy consumption. Preventative measures can save energy in the long term and extend the lifespan of buildings. In addition, mold infestation and the associated renovation measures can be avoided, which in turn saves costs and promotes sustainability in the construction sector.
