Acceptable Humidity Levels
Is 60% the Accepted Threshold for Humidity?
Well…it Depends….p
Building Durability would determine acceptable levels

Modeling Tool Needs/Gaps
• Construction Moisture can elevate interior RH levels (up to 9 pints per day)
• Slab on grade homes are most risky due to the enormous amount of water that is stored in concrete
• Slabs can only dry toward the interior of the house when enclosed
