Buildings with existing mold problems an be remediated through standard methods and through the use of microbial growth control systems, dehumidification equipment, and upper air UVGI systems or after-hours UVGI systems, depending the nature of the mold problems. Microbial growth control is often a side benefit of building immunization when UVGI systems can be located near cooling coils.
For bioweapon releases, post-attack remediation programs can be prepared in advance to facilitate restoration of building operations in the most expedient manner on request. Decontamination equipment can be specified and procedures for use prepared in advance. In most cases, the retrofit of air cleaning components can provide full-time protection against bioweapon agents and no post attack remediation will be necessary.
