COMF 5 - Mechanical Solutions for Humidity Control

Wednesday, April 09, 2008 · 10:35 AM - 12:15 PM

Whether you are trying to minimize central air conditioning during humid summers or addressing mold in wet basements or finished below grade spaces, indoor humidity control can be problematic. That gets worse when building efficiency measures further reduce the sensible cooling load or under part-load conditions when latent loads dominate such as swing seasons, summer nights, and rainy periods. This session is for people with intermediate to advanced HVAC experience. Explore the principles and practices to accomplish year round whole house humidity control, including an introduction to new equipment.

By attending this session, participants will

Learn the principles of indoor moisture load analysis and control
Find out how different cooling and dehumidification equipment handle moisture loads
Become familiar with best practice solutions for indoor humidity control, and get acquainted with newly available central system equipment
