CHICAGO—The Responsible Solutions to Mold Coalition (RSMC) has introduced a series of guidelines for controlling mold and moisture intended specifically for commercial buildings.

Developed by RSMC’s technical committee, the “Guiding Principles for Mold and Moisture Control – Commercial” is posted on the home page of the organization’s Web site at responsiblemoldsolutions.org.

This new section utilizes an interactive format in which visitors can explore various methods of controlling mold and moisture by clicking on the different parts of a typical commercial building. In addition, a complete list of the Guiding Principles can be downloaded for handy reference.

“RSMC is confident that these new recommendations will be very useful throughout the construction industry,” said Frank Nunes, RSMC vice chairman and executive director, International Institute for Lath and Plaster and Lath and Plaster Institute of Northern California. “Surveys confirm that mold continues to be a major issue for architects, contractors and building owners, and the Guiding Principles will help construction professionals eliminate potential mold and moisture problems in all types of commercial buildings.”
