In the construction documents, include the major components of mold prevention that need to occur during construction. These include meeting the SMACNA guidelines (part of IEQc3.1), protection of absorptive materials, waiting to install absorptive or organic materials until the building is enclosed, providing drainage, cleaning duct work before installation, and keeping relative humidity below 60% after the building has been enclosed.
