Guide on eliminating mould in residential areas: a comprehensive approach to maintaining healthy homes

Münster, a city striving to become a climate city, is taking steps to address a common issue faced by many residents – mold in apartments. The city, in collaboration with the Consumer Advice Center North Rhine-Westphalia (Verbraucherzentrale NRW), is hosting an energy advice session on September 9 and 10.

The sessions, held between 9 am and 5 pm on September 9 (by prior appointment, bookable through the website www.stadt-unser.de/termine) and an open advice hour from 2 pm to 5 pm on September 10, will focus on providing solutions for mold in apartments.

The problem of mold often arises in buildings with poor external wall construction, as temperatures drop outside and the inside of the walls cool significantly, leading to condensation on the walls. This issue can be mitigated through good internal insulation and a well-functioning ventilation system.

While frequent ventilation can help in dealing with mold, it only provides a partial solution. A comprehensive approach is necessary to effectively combat this problem.

The energy advice center, located in the House of Sustainability at Hammer Street 1, will provide information on various solutions for mold in apartments, as well as addressing other questions about energy saving.

Unfortunately, the exact venue for the energy consultation hour to combat mold in apartments on September 9 and 10 has not been explicitly stated in the provided search results. However, the energy advice center in Münster, in cooperation with the climate department of the city of Münster, will be the hub for these valuable discussions.

Residents are encouraged to take advantage of these sessions, as mold in apartments is likely to reoccur in Münster during October and November. By addressing this issue now, residents can create a healthier living environment for the colder months ahead.
