Timber EMC & Mold Risk Calculator
Uses ambient temperature and relative humidity to estimate the Equilibrium Moisture Content (EMC) of structural timber. EMC below 16% is safe, 16-18% warrants monitoring, 18-20% is a high mold risk, and above 20% risks active wood-decay fungi. These calculators are built around the decisions commercial mold remediation usually raises for homeowners around New Orleans, LA.
