Basics

A Part of Design for X
While it can complicate Cost Reductions in Materials (ie Design for Cost ), and may entail certain Occupational Health + Indoor Air Quality concerns to be investigated, and if necessary managed, Mold Remediation is intensive, and in Wood Framed Housing, can also be Destructive to the structure itself
Thus designing structures with Preventing and Managing Mold in mind is worth considering

Aspects

Paper Backed Drywall vs other options
- Need to investigate this more
Additives akin to Pressure Treated Wood may address this sufficiently
Could write it out as “Intrinsically Mold Resistant” vs “Anti-Mold Treated” maybe?

May be able to (especially in leu of full on “tight” building + Humidity Exchange Ventilation , having a Positive Pressure (even if “leaky” ) indoor areas, with a NEGATIVE pressure ullage space / some way of circulating non-air conditioned, but non-stagnant (or even Solar Chimney style hot/dry air) through the framing/siding such that it remains dry even if built imperfectly may be worth investigating

Granted OSE / OBI’s modular construction+well defined documentation (such that a Stud Detector etc may not even be needed due to “dead reckoning” based of the prints working fine) allows for this BUT:
- Designing removable plugs in some areas to allow an Inspection Camera / Borescope / Endscope to be inserted allowing for Inspection of Studs/Insulation
- Designing Accesible Attics / Accesible Crawlspaces / Basements such that inspectors can do their jobs easily
  - Although again as with cost tradeoffs, crawling through insulation/stepping on fragile floors may still be needed, but a possibility to consider pre-design/installation
- Something akin to Termite Monitoring Bait Stations but for Framing/Insulation inspection/testing could be devised

Due to Modular Section+THUROUGH Documentation, this should be easy (at least as easy as it CAN be) in OBI/OSE Builds
Also no concerns with Asbestos / Lead Paint in the process etc
- Tearing down OLD walls/buildings can be difficult due to this
Design for Chemical Compatibility such that surfaces can be doused in various cleaners/anti-microbials/anti-mold agents may be worth it as well
- In particular QUAT / Chlorine Bleach Solutions and to a lesser extent Alcohols such as Ethanol Methanol and Isopropanol (although these come with Fire + VOC hazards so are probably seldom used, still may be worth considering

Design for Termite Resistance and Resilience
- A related concept but for Termites and related pests such as Carpenter Ants etc
Design for Rodent Infestation Resistance and Resilience
- Related concept but for the (albeit far easier to manage with good housekeeping etc) Rodent Infestations/The stray squirrel or so entering an attic)
Design for Wildlife Deconfliction+Deterrence
