Title: Design Challenges of Avoiding Humid Climate Moisture and Mold Problems.
Authors: KAVANAUGH, STEVE1,2
Source: ASHRAE Journal. May2026, Vol. 68 Issue 5, p26-31. 5p.
Subjects: Humidity control, Mold control, Engineering standards, Heating & ventilation industry, Home energy use, Building design & construction
Geographic Terms: Texas, Port Arthur (Tex.)
Abstract: The article focuses on humidity control and moisture management challenges in the hot, damp coastal climate of Port Arthur, Texas, emphasizing the importance of effective dehumidification in building design. Topics include guidance from ASHRAE standards on preventing moisture and mold problems, performance considerations in tightly built energy-efficient homes, and practical HVAC design strategies for maintaining indoor comfort and durability in high-humidity environments.
