Carl's Remodeling Tips for Improved IAQ – Air-sealing is key 

Identify Pollutants & keep them out:
- Dust & dirt
- Solvents & adhesives
- Formaldehyde & VOCs
- Mold & moisture
- Radon
- CO 

Separate breathing air from pollutants you can't eliminate. 
Air-seal adjoining walls and ceilings between the living space and:
- Garage
- Combustion furnaces and HW heaters
- Combustion closets
- Chemical storage areas 

Use building materials that contribute to moisture management:
Excess moisture can cause mold, which is a major concern for existing, leakier homes.  Air leakage accounts for 99% of moisture movement in a structure.  Tighter remodeling will minimize air leakage and accompanying moisture.  By minimizing moisture transport through the building envelope, remodelers can help prevent condensation and the potential for mold growth.

Almost 99% of moisture travels through the air, while diffusion represents only 1% of the total moisture flow.  Diffused moisture travels through the sheathing and the insulation to the interior space where it is easily removed from the air by the A/C system.  Click on the image to the left to enlarge the Moisture Transport illustration.
