- Properly controlled humidity levels will allow the homeowner to raise the thermostat setting in the summer, while maintaining comfort. This can provide significant energy savings.
- According to LEED for Homes, controlling indoor moisture levels provide comfort, reduce the risk of mold & allergens, and increase the durability of the structure of the home. In hot and humid climates, dehumidification can reduce the energy demands associated with air-conditioning.
- According to the Home Ventilating Institute, a tighter, well-insulated home can save energy, increase comfort for its occupants, and create an opportunity to manage indoor air quality (IAQ). Maximum benefits can only be achieved through the careful selection of materials and the proper use of mechanical ventilation.
- According to the Environmental Protection Association, home buyers today are increasingly concerned about the poor indoor air quality and the presence of high VOC levels in their homes, including mold, radon, carbon monoxide, and toxic chemicals.
