  • Systems and methods for controlling air properties in structures and inhibiting moisture accumulation and mold propagation in structures
    Patent number: 11982466
    Abstract: A structure comprises at least one outer wall having an internal wall section and an outer wall section with an air flow passage therebetween. A circulation system circulates air through the flow passage to inhibit moisture accumulation and mold growth. A sensing system determines the presence of moisture in the flow passage and generates a signal in response thereto. A controller receives the signal from the sensing system and controls the circulation system to maintain a predetermined temperature and relative humidity in the flow passage.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 20, 2021
    Date of Patent: May 14, 2024
    Assignee: Vacek LLC
