Industry experts have raised concerns about the E3 metric's methodology, as presented in Chuck Dewald’s paper "Enthalpy Evaporation Evaluation – A Case for the E3 Drying Metric." Issues such as unsupported data, ambiguous terminology, and lack of scientific validation highlight the need for rigorous testing before adopting new metrics in the restoration industry.
Chuck Dewald III walks through how to evaluate this evaporative energy transfer process, employing metrics that evaluate how the energy transfer values can change as you apply drying efforts.
Testing for EPA registration of disinfectants and antimicrobials is conducted following a strict protocol. But such testing does not mimic the way that such chemicals are used for the remediation of water losses, mold, etc.
