It sounds elementary, but, as a Society, we are still trying to get a handle on humidity control. Psychrometrically, where and when do we need it? Mechanically, how do we accomplish it? Algorithmically, how do we regulate it? This session brings new thoughts on controlling humidification, and dehumidification and presents the thinking behind new dehumidification requirements in Standard 62.1.
