Indoor mould risk calculation

Hello,

I have an interest in indoor environmental mould risk calculations.

If there is a subject matter expert in this community or suggestions where I might find resources about it, I'd be grateful for a reach out or pointers. 

thanks,

    Depends on quite what you're interested in calculating - the humidity/temperature that gives a dew point which can lead to mould, or the probabilities of mould occurring given less precise data, or the probability of harm etc. There's quite a bit out there on preventing condensation - e.g. I think passiv haus had a formula for preventing condensation (which given a few assumptions comes up with a U value of 0.8 for windows etc.) and I suspect similar can be found in most ventilation and/or insulation guides.
