Mold growth is an insidious problem in condominiums, homes, offices and hotels.
The Environmental Protection Agency reports that mold can begin to form in just 24 hours if there’s been a leak, flood or moisture problem, then easily spread into walls and HVAC systems. Yet most insurance policies will not pay for mold remediation if the mold is caused by a condition that has existed for 14 days or more.
Bodhi can help you prevent the growth of mold in at least two ways:
-
- Use Bodhi with wireless flood/water sensors, intelligent shutoff valves, or individual water meters and occupancy sensors to detect any water issues, large or small, then alert maintenance of the need for a repair. Finding and fixing even the smallest leaks is crucial to preventing mold growth, especially in warmer climates.
- Use Bodhi with wireless humidity sensors to detect excess humidity, then automatically trigger exhaust fans and/or notify maintenance staff of the problem. Place the sensors near showers, hot tubs, anywhere you suspect humidity might build up and potentially lead to mold or mildew.
Because Bodhi logs all incidents, you can review humidity issues periodically to decide whether the mitigation measures you have chosen are adequate.
Bodhi even opens trouble tickets with every detected leak or incident where humidity reaches a level you define, giving you the ability to track a problem’s resolution.
At last – a simple yet effective way to prevent mold growth on your property!
Bodhi is a cloud-based building management platform that centrally monitors, analyzes, schedules and controls all of the technology on your property from a single interface — from leak and mold protection to lighting, climate, water, electrical metering, audio/visual and other building technologies.
Best of all, it’s so simple that any property manager, engineer, concierge or homeowner will be able to begin using it immediately.
