What is humidity?

Humidity is the measurement of the amount of water vapor present in the air, typically expressed as relative humidity (RH) in percent. Relative humidity shows how much moisture the air holds compared to the maximum it can hold at a given temperature, which is why heating and cooling have a direct effect on humidity levels. In commercial buildings, humidity is influenced by weather, seasons, ventilation and daily activities such as cooking, cleaning and the number of people in a space. Measuring humidity helps building, workplace and facility teams keep spaces comfortable and spot where moisture control or ventilation needs improvement.

● THE WHY 

Why does humidity matter?

Humidity isn't just about comfort. It affects occupant health, the condition of your building and how efficiently your HVAC systems run.

Humidity 1 (1)

Protect occupant health


High humidity fosters mold and dust mites, while dry air irritates airways and speeds up the spread of airborne viruses. Keeping humidity in the optimal 40–60% range keeps your workforce healthy, comfortable, and productive.
Humidity 2

Preserve building health


Excess moisture can lead to condensation, structural rot, and expensive damage to materials like wood and drywall. Monitoring humidity levels helps you catch ventilation issues early, protecting your real estate investment from costly repairs.

Optimize HVAC efficiency


Damp air feels warmer than it is, often causing people to crank up the AC unnecessarily. By managing humidity alongside temperature, your HVAC systems can run smarter, drastically lowering energy consumption without sacrificing indoor comfort.
