| Building science: The process of mitigating mold and moisture |
|
The only way to truly prevent mold growth in a building is with careful management of humidity, condensation, and water intrusion via building envelope leaks, floods, or plumbing failures. For this reason, the risk of recurring mold growth must be addressed, not only by prompt repairs, but through a comprehensive mold and water damage management program.

| Employing granite and rainscreens for upscale finishes |
|
Stone can provide great performance with a rainscreen design, yet design teams have many questions about, how to incorporate it. Is granite too heavy for a rainscreen system? What kind of anchoring details are required? Will the stone panels remain secure? Will the rainscreen with granite remain low maintenance for years to come?

| The “basis of design” |
|
Hi all, I wanted to get some opinions on the “basis of design” language within a spec. When is it “appropriate” and when it might not be? Any thoughts on the subject appreciated.

| Pock Marks in Concrete Path |
|
This concrete path (see picture) was poured in February of 2021, meaning it has been in place for two years. Pock marks developed about a month ago. The tenants stated that they only used concrete safe de-icer. I would be curious to hear what the CSI group thinks. Thanks for your help!
