It not the temperature, it's the humidity. We had to place 4 dehumidifiers
in the Holtby addition for two years. If you have a folic d air system, I a
lso recommend turning fan on continously to keep the air moving. You can bu
y some inexpensive thermometers with humidity display at Walmart. Place few
around building and you can judge the size of the problem.

Subject: Question?
We recently finished construction of an addition to our museum.
Mostly wood with some sheet rock interior. Cement floor. No wi
ndows. Cathedral ceiling. Just in the process of designing and
adding exhibits. Potential problem. Old museum was built in 200
0. Basically, the same construction at above. First winter we h
ad problems with mold. Are concerned about same this winter. So
me discussion as to what temperature we should maintain in new construction
. There is naturally going to be more humidity. Some feel that
the temps should be kept low, below sixty degrees. Others feel it sho
uld be seventy or above. Any experts out there?
