Disaster recovery and restoration can be veiled in mystery to the many who have not undertaken specific training. This glossary explains technical terms to assist both report writing and the understanding of those technical terms so often misunderstood.
Definition
| Air Drying Process: |
Restorative Drying Note: In water damaged buildings, air drying is the process of removing wet (humidified) indoor air from a structure. The air drying process may be completed using natural means or engineering controls (drying eequipment), sufficient enough to dry the indoor air, wet and humidified wall cavities and other building materials, within a relatively short period of time before building damage occurs or mold growth occurs. See Air Dynamics, Air Exchange Rate. |
| Air Exchange Rate: |
The rate (speed) at which the indoor air volume is to be exchanged one time from a building. Often, the air exchange rate is expressed in air changes per hour (ACH). |
