Why measure relative humidity?
Prevention of mold and bacterial growth. High moisture levels create an environment where mold and bacteria thrive, which can lead to health problems for those in the building. Moisture measurement helps keep moisture levels in check and prevents these issues.
Protection of building materials. Certain building materials, such as wood and gypsum, are sensitive to moisture and can be damaged if moisture levels become too high. By monitoring moisture, you protect the building's structure and reduce the risk of future repairs.
Indoor comfort and health. Excessive humidity can create an uncomfortable and unhealthy indoor environment, while too low humidity can make the air feel dry and irritating to the airways. Moisture measurement ensures a balance that promotes comfort and health.
Energy efficiency. Moist materials conduct heat better than dry ones, which can affect the building's insulation capacity. By keeping moisture levels low, you preserve the building's insulation capacity and reduce heating and cooling costs.
Long-term building sustainability. Moisture problems that are not detected and addressed in time can lead to serious structural issues, such as rot damage in wooden structures and corrosion of metals. Moisture measurement helps ensure the long-term sustainability of the building.
