Air Humidity in the Workplace

Scientific studies have proven that a narrowly defined range of 40 to 60% relative humidity ensures the ideal conditions for health, performance, well-being and value retention. In modern buildings with watertight building envelopes, central heating and ventilation systems, these limits cannot be met in everyday life without active air humidification.

This brochure is intended to show the medical principles for correct air humidity as well as the achievable positive health and economic effects through correct air humidification in workplaces.

Air Humidity in Museums

Almost all towns document their local history in small museums. In contrast, huge museums such as the Louvre in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the British Museum in London draw five to ten million visitors every year. The countless, often unique and irreplaceable exhibits on display here are valued at many billions of euros and must therefore be protected from any possible damage, including, in particular, environmental influences at all times.

Permanent 24-hour protection requires a special climate with appropriate temperatures and humidity. This brochure deals with such air-conditioning systems and especially with the very important aspect of humidity control in museum air.

Hygiene Criteria

Hygiene plays an important role in air humidification. Current regulations such as VDI [Association of German Engineers] 6022 provide valuable information on design, planning, manufacture and system operation.

On the one hand, air humidification is indispensable in air-conditioning in buildings. On the other hand, basic microbiological interrelationships need to be observed. This guide is intended to shed light on the prerequisites for hygienic humidification technology and to clarify the essential planning criteria.

Air Dehumidification

This guide is intended to assist you in selecting the appropriate dehumidification system for professional applications. It explains the basic principles of the two most common dehumidification technologies, air dehumidification by condensation and drying by sorption.

Knowledge of the mode of operation and application limits allows the optimal technology for solving the respective dehumidification task to be determined early in the planning phase. The brochure also provides information on the general conditions that must be clarified by the building contractor in advance and the data that is required for a proper design. Finally, some calculation approaches are presented as examples.
