How can you prevent mold with no heating?
I tried to heat as little as possible, leaving rooms without heating, and I already can go around hunting down mold on the walls
Reducing humidity might help. Depending on your home climate control it may have a humidity setting to lower, or you could get a dehumidifier.
Check for airflow around the frame of windows inside. Caulking/spray insulation behind the moulding to fill gaps left between window and wall during last installation will help both mold and CC inefficiency issues.
I have a dehumidifier but it consumes energy, which I think is ultimately going to come from Russia. Belgium is shutting down its nuclear power plants (2, iirc) and replacing them with 3 natural gas burning plants. Not sure about schedule.. maybe it already happened.
I didn’t know leaks exacerbated the condensation. I don’t think I have any noticeably big gaps but probably all the seams leak a bit. Maybe I should try to seal off entire windows with plastic film.
Drafts are a source of rapid temperature change which encourages condensation.
