METHOD OF IMPROVING INDOOR AIR QUALITY BY THERMALLY INACTIVATING FUNGI ON BUILDING SURFACES

摘要

A method of improving the indoor air quality in a building comprising at least partially inactivating fungal mycelia and spores associated with a building material surface by applying onto the surface thermal energy initially contained in water vapour at a pressure exceeding 1 bar, in an amount which is sufficient to at least partially inactivate said fungal mycelia and spores but essentially without causing damages to the surface material.
