Among the many indoor air quality issues faced by building designers, engineers and occupants, indoor moisture is one of the most important. While not a contaminant itself, excessive moisture levels increase the likelihood for microbial growth and the resulting health affects of allergy, asthma and other respiratory impacts. In addition, relative humidity is a key factor in determining occupant comfort, and there are significant questions as to the impacts of dry air on both health and comfort. This two part seminar will present the latest research findings on health effects associated with indoor moisture and provide practical perspective on how to better manage indoor moisture through design, operation and maintenance.
