Humidity control is an integral aspect of maintaining occupant comfort and providing healthy air equality.
In the subtropical, maintaining acceptable humidity levels is far more challenging compared to other regions.
Some of the signs of high humidity levels in your indoor space include sticky papers, condensation at diffusers, mold, mildew, a cold, clammy, uncomfortable feeling of mugginess, and smells associated with dampness. Most times, intricacies of humidity loads in large buildings and incorrect HVAC unit selection may result in additional energy costs, customer complaints, and sometimes even lawsuits due to high humidity levels. Maintaining the appropriate humidity levels in a large space is often quite challenging, especially in extremely dry seasons or climates. When your indoor air is extremely dry, it may bring about multiple issues. Some of the problems you may experience due to low humidity levels include sinus congestion, dry skin, nosebleeds, or cracked lips. To combat these issues, you certainly require a dehumidifier. However, the functionalities and capacity of humidifiers vary. One of the challenges of humidifying a large building is having a humidifier incapable of moisturizing the entire building. Purchasing a model with low capacity will create uneven humidity levels inside your large building. Another challenge is the frequent need to fill the tank. Since your humidifier is moisturizing a large space, you will have to be constantly on the lookout if more water is needed. The energy costs of humidifying a large building will be skyrocketing. Your HVAC unit will run longer trying to keep up with the humidity requirements of your entire facility, consuming large amounts of energy.
