The paper presents the results of mold growth risks in a corner wall near an entrance door in an apartment house. The corner wall is recognized as a trouble spot for condensation and mold risk in apartment buildings. This study analyses mold risks based on a mixed simulation approach. This approach requires a reliable aggregation method to arrive at quantified mold growth risk and extension of standard simulation capacity to account for additional mechanisms of the mold phenomenon. The application of the developed mold risk indicator (MRI) is reported in apartment building case studies located in KOREA. This study reveals that 0.9 of temperature factor is required to avoid condensation and mold risks in the corner wall near an entrance door.
