During cooling periods, mechanical cooling coupled
with dehumidification for comfort reasons is widespread.
The practice of mechanical cooling coupled
with some dehumidification for comfort reasons is widespread.
But future climate analysis (based on IPCC projections) showed that, even
with dehumidification, the occupants risked several weeks of uncomfortable conditions each year.
The latter was mainly to get cooling
with dehumidification.
Grid Tied PV - Nearly 100 % on site electric generation - blown in Cellulose & Air Sealing in the attic after extensive energy audit - Gas back up Solar hot water system
with dehumidification loop - Window - quilt insulating window treatments The house is a fairly standard colonial that happened to have a great south facing roof in the back.

There will be lots of time when we need
dehumidification with no cooling.
There were problems
with the insulation required in really cold climates like Minnesota and
with cooling and
dehumidification in places like Kentucky and Louisiana.
BSC is actively monitoring the performance of the AAON HVAC air source heat pump
with reheat supplemental
dehumidification.
One of the major design upgrades for this house will be the installation of a heat pump
with integrated supplemental
dehumidification.
As such, proper sizing of air - conditioning systems
with consideration of
dehumidification capabilities is important.
Moisture movement by air leakage (the exfiltration of interior moisture - laden air during heating periods and the infiltration of exterior moisture - laden air during cooling periods) is controlled by limiting air leakage openings, controlling the interior levels of moisture during heating periods by utilizing controlled ventilation (dilution by air change) combined
with source control (direct venting of clothes dryers as well as the use of subgrade vapor retarders under concrete floor slabs and bath and kitchen exhaust systems), controlling the interior levels of moisture during cooling periods by utilizing the
dehumidification capabilities of mechanical cooling systems, and limiting controlled ventilation to minimum values established by indoor air quality concerns.
