New Construction
There is a disparity issue in the availability of affordable housing units for low income renters, over a third of Americans renting do not own a home because they can’t afford one. Renters are able to enjoy the security of “home” without the financial expectations and burdens. As tighter construction regulations become standard, improper ventilation mixed with tenant behavior can result in excess moisture and mold growth. The IW-25 In-Wall Dehumidifier was made to remove moisture and control microbial growth. Specifically designed and engineered for multi-family housing, the IW-25 requires no attention or effort from the tenants, for a hands-free dehumidification system.
Rehabilitation
Revitalizing communities by maximizing the use of existing buildings and materials in order to restore urban and architectural aspects, is known as a rehabilitation, or adaptive reuse. Often financial incentives are offered to develop such projects including tax credits. These projects focus on upgrades meeting modern building and energy codes while maintaining historical integrity. Challenges with moisture control are common in such projects due to mixture of old construction with modern features. The ENERGY STAR® Certified IW-25 In-Wall Dehumidifier remedies the dangers associated with excess moisture by consistently controlling the indoor relative humidity.
