An HVAC contractor installed an air handling system in a new building. Within weeks of opening, the building was forced to close as several occupants were  hospitalized with breathing difficulties. Inspection of the HVAC system found that improper installation had caused excessive condensation leading to extensive  mold growth within the ductwork. The contractor’s pollution policy responded to the mold claims filed against them for cleanup costs, bodily injury, and business interruption claims in excess of $400,000.
