Grow rooms are a prominent example of the potential and the challenges of indoor agriculture.

Humidity control makes up an important facet of indoor air quality, a facet that includes reducing airborne viruses but extends far beyond it.

Homeowners are increasingly paying attention to improving their indoor air quality, and dehumidification is a big part of the IAQ equation.

Whether it be a single-family household, school, or even a grocery store, all of those spaces need clean, high-quality air — which humidification plays a role in.

Comfortable, clean air. That’s what end users on both the residential and commercial sides are looking for in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Proper indoor RH — generally between 35% and 60%, with the range leaving wiggle room for personal preferences and outdoor conditions — is vital in maintaining IAQ, the health and well-being of a home’s occupants, and the condition of its furnishings.

Between health benefits, energy savings, and overall improved air quality, whole-home humidification systems are an easy sell for contractors.

For contractors in humid climates, a lot of the comfort they provide is through being able to control humidity levels, which can be aided by adding a secondary dehumidification system.
