HUMIDITY INVESTIGATION
Identify the root causes of high humidity levels in buildings and the appropriate solutions to control the relative humidity in indoor spaces.Similar to the temperature, humidity levels in buildings are important for indoor comfort, storage of certain material, hygienic concerns, safety issues, etc. Humidity investigation is a very important factor in considering the human comfort inside an air-conditioned closed space. Relative humidity is highly dependent on monitoring and controlling the moisture in the air. When the humidity levels in buildings go beyond certain limits, depending on the application, serious complaints arise, such as, interior dampness, mold growth on walls and furniture, musty odours, discomfort, material damage, etc.
In such cases, humidity investigation is performed to identify the root causes and to propose the appropriate solutions to control the relative humidity in indoor spaces. This is extremely helpful, examining the areas’ enclosure and analysis of the mechanical systems and building fabric to identify the appropriate solutions to bring the humidity levels within acceptable limits, while optimizing the energy consumption.
