Local thermostats and
humidistats are assumed to schedule "unoccupied" status with appropriate relaxed temperature and humidity setpoints.
One solution is to place the
humidistat in a location that's both easily accessible and provides an accurate reading of the patient's immediate environment.
The other systems also have a
humidistat to control dehumidifiers or change system operation in response to the space-relative humidity level.
"We've carried out extensive repairs to her windows and doors, completed insulation works and installed
humidistat fans.
In addition to the thermostat, a
humidistat controls the relative humidity of the core zone, providing humidification (by means of an electric steam humidifier placed in the main air loop) when relative humidity falls below 45% and dehumidification (by means of the cooling coil placed on the main air loop) when the relative humidity increases above 60%.
Many of the newer models come with a digital
humidistat and automatic outdoor temperature compensation (such as the Honeywell No.
New plumbing, new electric, a Vantage lighting system, Mitsubishi central air, humidifier regulated by
humidistat, and new carbon monoxide and smoke/heat detectors.
The problem was exacerbated by fitting an extractor fan controlled by the lights rather than a
humidistat. Most showers were taken in daylight hours so the fan didn't operate.
Its digital controls include an automatic
humidistat and a built-in hygrometer.
Does your MC system only control temperature (no
humidistat built into the system)?
Consider installing a heat recovery unit with a
humidistat.
