Yes, New Construction Properties, both Commercial and Residential, can have mold or can grow mold.  Mold can be found in unconidtioned Wall Cavities, HVAC air duct system, or on ceiling tile backings.

To most people, moldy odors suggest HVAC problems. But while the air system may indeed spread fungal odors, the HVAC system in new buildings is seldom re-sponsible for generating them. In new construction, mold infestations usually are caused by moisture in building materials. 

That moisture can come from rain or snow before the building is closed in, or from leak-ing water pipes, wet concrete or condensation on surfaces like cold floor slabs during springtime.

Conventional HVAC systems are not designed to dry out construction-related moisture. The moisture load from wet materials is simply too large and the drying task too complex for systems that are intended for comfort air conditioning.

The better plan is to dry materials quickly with aggressive drying if they get wet through nature or human error.

A dry building is more sustainable than a damp building because dry buildings last longer. In a damp building, nails, screws, bolts and steel framing can corrode quickly, which puts the building at risk of early structural failure.

A dry building also has better IAQ than a damp building. Damp building materials degrade, generating and releasing a wide range of indoor air pollutants. According to the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md., the health risk of a damp building is real and measurable. Biologists and health professionals believe mold and bacteria growing in damp buildings are responsible for many negative health effects.

Occupants are more comfortable at a higher temperature in a dry building than in a damp building, so a dry building’s cooling systems require less energy.
