Why is humidity control important to residential and domestic buildings?

In line with modern residential building regulations to limit heat loss, modern domestic properties are made as airtight as possible. The reduction in natural fresh air reduces moisture transfer and has the knock-on effect that the air becomes dry, causing the occupants to suffer from symptoms such as dry throat, skin and eyes, headaches and eczema– particularly at night.

Antique furniture, timber floors, musical instruments and pictures can also crack due to the low humidity levels – possibly reducing their value, affecting their appearance and making them difficult to insure.

Residential heat exchangers and other energy efficient technical additions to a domestic building assist with temperature control and the removal of unwanted moisture, but it is important to consider the air condition as a whole and this includes creating a stable relative humidity.

Benefits include:

  • Improve human comfort and health
  • Protect valuable assets such as paintings, musical instruments etc
  • Reduce warping or cracking of wooden floors and furniture
  • Control of dust and airborne pollutants
