If the other part of your house got no issue, it could be leaking that causes the problem.

That's the thing. The house was poorly constructed, and try as I might, I cannot identify any issues with leaking. there are no water marks, but mold will grow on one of the walls, and this part is in the area that is poorly ventilated. I installed a ventilation fan, but didn't solve my problem.

Ozak suggested the dehumidifier crystals (humid hippo) but this is not a small area. Room size is about300sqft, so will need a lot of crystals and frequent change. It is also not as effective to remove the damp musty smell.

If I turn it on when I'm out working, and turn it off when I get home, then turn on the air conditioning instead, feels like not so energy efficient. The aircond will take ages to cool the room and use more energy.

Haih...what a dilemma  rclxub.gif

You need to find out what is behind the wall, top of the wall, and side. If only one wall very likely is the water issue not ventilation

On top of the wall is the top floor balcony~retiled and waterproofed

Behind the wall is my neighbour's wall. They have a problem with mildew in the whole room, not just that wall. And I believe once I move in and start using the air cond regularly, I too will have the same problem
Yeah, same here. That wall is exactly where my built in closet is
The wall is back to back with neighbour's wall. Contractor saw before Reno. He also shake head dunno what to do sweat.gif

You should also ask few your neighbor, perhaps few house away, if all having same issue. It might be your's and your back to back neighbor the only family having such issue.
