Problem
When a top national builder didn’t have the right climate specific ventilation in their new homes in Florida the homes started having extensive humidity issues. It caused mold damage to the home itself in addition to unhealthy indoor air for the new homeowners.

The FAS team worked with the builder’s engineering team educating them on the specific ventilation requirements that are critical for the Florida climate, developed custom technical documents, training and new ventilation designs resulting in a solution to mitigate the humidity problem in a very specific climate.
Impact
The Client identified this as their #1 profitability project. The return on air for the client was reduced construction costs and accelerated timelines.
