Some may be interested to know that one of the deliverables from a

research project funded by the California Energy Commission is now

available to the public.

" A California Builder's Guide to Reducing Mold Risk " is a no-cost,

61-page PDF, which can be downloaded from the project website at the

Gas Research Institute. Scroll down to the bottom right side of this

page for the link:

www.gastechnology.org/moldresearch

Many who subscribe to this IAQ list have generously given of their

time and experience to make this document relevant and useful to

developers, designers, builders and owners of new housing in

California. (Including the moderator of this group, Jim Holland of

RESTCON) The project was paid for principally by the utility rate

payers of California through the PIER program (Public Interest

Energy Research) and also by the Gas Research Institute.

Three things you might want to keep in mind as you read through the

document:

1. This is simply a report to the commission. The California Energy

Commission has neither approved nor disapproved the recommendations,

nor does the Commission necessarily agree or disagree with the

contents.

2. The report has no regulatory standing.

3. The report is in its final form. So while we very much welcome

discussion and other input for the future, there is no current

funding to revise, add or correct any items you might disagree with,

or which you might find controversial, or which you may feel are

less detailed than one might wish.

Again, thanks to the rate payers and to the California Energy

Commission for their support, as well as to our colleagues on this

list and elsewhere who helped with the project. We sincerely hope

the document may prove useful to the public.
