- Abstract
- The control of the moisture content of the air in buildings directly affects the comfort of the building occupants and is one of the more important tasks of an energy management and control system (EMCS). This report was written for the purpose of assisting the managers and operators of EMCS in buildings in the understanding and use of various techniques for on-site measurement of the moisture content in the air. In addition, various methods of on-site calibration of typical types of moisture monitoring instruments are also discussed.
