ATLANTA, Oct 15, 2009 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- AOMH | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI) is proud to announce the approval and publication of its "ANSI / GREENGUARD Environmental Institute Mold and Moisture Management Standard for New Construction (ANSI / GEI - MMS1001)" by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). This important national standard is the first to focus solely on mold and moisture issues that can arise in the construction of new buildings. Moisture, and in turn mold, can ruin indoor environmental quality, compromise building materials and building systems and cost thousands of dollars to fix. Preventing these risks protect financial investments while preserving the structural integrity and air quality of the building. The standard details design, construction and maintenance practices for preventing the harmful growth of mold.

"We are very excited to bring such a valuable resource to the building industry," stated Henning Bloech, Executive Director of GEI. "With mold and moisture issues negatively impacting so many buildings and building occupants, we recognized a need for a consensus-developed standard to address this devastating problem. We applaud and thank the Consensus Board and numerous Public Commenters who helped us develop and craft this standard over the past two years."

To ensure the standard was developed with comprehensive construction expertise the Consensus Board, which first met on March 13, 2007, was comprised of professionals from diverse backgrounds including architecture, academia, commercial construction, finance, legal, insurance, engineering, home building and building science professions. As part of the ANSI process, the standard was opened for public comment by all interested stakeholders. These comments were valuable in developing the most robust, yet practical national guidance on this important issue. Receiving ANSI approval validates the standard and ensures it will be a valuable resource for the marketplace.

An electronic or hard copy version of the standard is available for purchase at http://www.greenguard.org/Default.aspx?tabid=115.
