We recently\u00a0discussed\u00a0the problems of high humidity in buildings. In this post, we wish to talk more in depth about how we take a holistic approach to creating balancing humidity. A key part of this approach is managing humidity levels inside buildings through proper ventilation, air balancing, and dehumidification. As anyone who has gone through a single summer in Toronto knows, high humidity is a major problem\u2014and it easily gets into buildings where it can cause significant damage beyond simply making a space less comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n

The standard measure of high humidity is relative humidity that\u2019s greater than 60%. (<\/span>Relative humidity<\/span><\/i> is a measure of water vapor in the air relative to the temperature of the air, i.e. the percentage of water vapor in the air of the total amount that could be held at the current temperature.) Residential homes usually aim to balance humidity at 45%. But when it comes to commercial and industrial spaces the ideal humidity balance may be different based on equipment and process. This is one of the main reasons to work with professionals to combat humidity in your facility: our experts will know what humidity level is ideal for the space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Combating High Humidity<\/b><\/h2>\n

There isn\u2019t a single method to control humidity in a commercial\/industrial space. A holistic approach helps by using several interlocked methods to lower high humidity.<\/span><\/p>\n
