Due to climate differences, interior conditions which must be maintained to avoid
the critical relative humidity at a surface vary from region to region and time of year.
Consensus among microbiologists gives
the critical relative humidity for adverse biological activity to occur on building envelope surfaces to be 70 percent.
Not exact matches
We know that something is causing the winds to move up and down in the supercell, and we believe that the temperatures and
relative humidity are
critical to that process.
Therefore, conditions should be maintained within a building such that the
critical 70 (or higher) percent
relative humidity at a building envelope surface does not occur.
An independent estimate of global - mean evaporation provides additional support, but
critical assumptions on
relative humidity and the air - sea temperature difference changes are made that do not have adequate observational basis and are inconsistent with climate models.»
