What is mould risk, and how does it work?

Open Analyses > Mold Risk.

Side menu with Analyses open, showing the indoor climate analyses.

It uses the VTT model. Temperature, relative humidity, and how sensitive the surface is become a mould index from 0 to 6.

0 to 1 means no growth. 1 to 3 is microscopic growth, a warning before you can see it. 3 to 6 means the climate has favoured growth that may be visible, so the surface should be inspected.

Filter the table by material. Very sensitive (SQ1) covers untreated softwood, paper, organic insulation, canvas, textiles, and leather. Sensitive (SQ2) covers planed wood, plywood, MDF, paper-faced plasterboard, painted wood, and furniture. Each row shows the index, a status, the trend over seven days, and how often the surface was humid over four weeks. Open Analysis on a row for the index over time.
