Authors' codes and standards frequently discuss single effects of humidification without examining the overall aspects of it. The ASHRAE 90-75 Standard for Energy Conservation in New Buildings states the following regarding the control of winter humidity: If a HVAC Systems is equipped with a means for adding moisture to maintain specific selected humidities in spaces or zones, a humidistat shall be provided. This device shall be capable of being set to prevent new energy from being used to prevent space relative humidity above 30%. Where a humidistat is used in a HVAC system for controlling moisture removal to maintain specific selected humidities in spaces or zones, it shall be capable of being set to prevent new energy being used to produce a space relative humidity below 60%. This statement has been incorporated in the standard to do one thing only: reduce energy consumption in buildings by limiting the relative humidity to 30% in winter. This paper will discuss other aspects of adding humidity to buildings in winter: comfort, health, static electricity, hygiene, maintenance, control for building condensation, initial cost, the need for the measurement of humidity to determine if a humidification system is performing its function, and the synergistic effectmore » of humidity on other atmospheric components.« less
