When it comes to humidity control products, how can contractors effectively convince consumers to purchase humidifiers and dehumidifiers? Everyone knows that these products aren’t necessities like furnaces and air conditioners.

Operating a museum presents a host of challenges: financial, philosophical, practical, and political, to name a few.

The VapaVoid is a horizontal packaged humidification system designed by VAPAC for a drop ceiling area installation.

The Home Comfort Control system utilizes a touch-screen interface, which connects to an equipment control module with standard three-wire connection. It eliminates the need for separate controls on humidifiers, dehumidifiers, ventilation, and temperature control systems.

Although the project had to be redesigned more than once, the Almost Home Animal Shelter in Fort Dodge, Iowa, has now been efficiently operating for more than a year with a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) and an integral energy recovery wheel.

The ComfortBreeze ™ evaporative humidifier line combines advanced microprocessor control with conventional evaporative technology. The units are available with optional patent-pending ComfortSmart™ technology to minimize water consumption while maintaining a comfortable humidity in the home.

When humidity and moisture are not effectively controlled, persistent dampness can lead to material damage, corrosion, structural decay, and microbial growth. HVAC contractors can play an integral part in slowing the development of such problems, but how?

In a paper recently published online in BMC Infectious Diseases, Koep and his fellow Mayo Clinic researchers explore humidity in schools and the potential effects it could have on the survival and transmissibility of the influenza virus.
