The Responsible Solutions to Mold Coalition took the opportunity to remind builders and homeowners that building green means building dry.

During Mold Awareness Month in August, the Responsible Solutions to Mold Coalition took the opportunity to remind builders and homeowners alike that building green means building dry.

According to the coalition, building green homes means designing, building and maintaining them in a way that keeps moisture at bay. Because a damp home not only deteriorates more quickly, it can also create an unhealthy environment that becomes moldy and attracts insects and other vermin.
