High performance, ed energy efficient smart buildings have exposed inherent flaws in our traditional approach to monitoring and preventing mold. As these insulated, search air-tight commercial buildings impact heating and cooling demands, the problems associated with moisture and mold growth are mushrooming. The vast majority of buildings are controlled based on temperature only. We’re measuring the wrong parameter.\n\n\n\nThe key to controlling mold is controlling moisture in buildings. And the key to controlling moisture is measuring the dew point. Until now, dew point measurements have been technically and economically unfeasible for the commercial building market. Point Six™ WiFi Dewpoint Sensors provide affordable and dependable feedback control for smart building operations.\n\nDew point is really a predictive measure that indicates the temperature at which moisture in the air will reach 100% and condense onto a surface. It can be a useful measure for controlling moisture levels to avoid mold growth because it is usually very easy to determine the temperature of the coldest surfaces within a building. To ensure condensation does not occur on surfaces, dew point levels in the air should be controlled in the building to below temperature of the coldest surfaces in a space. This ensures that moisture conditions never approach the point that would sustain mold growth on cooler surfaces.\n\nPoint Six™ Wireless offers the tools for smart building operations including WiFi Dewpoint Sensors, WiFi Humidity Sensors and WiFi Temperature Sensors.
