Student Housing – Southern Coastal Area
A building consultant performed an inspection and completed a scope of work including a number of envelope-related enhancements as well as the installation of IW25 in-wall dehumidifiers throughout the garden-style units. Two apartments were selected for installation of trial units to measure effectiveness of the IW25 as a solution.

Salem Environmental – Southeastern US Apartment Installation
Salem Environmental was contacted to remediate a typical two-bedroom apartment located in the Southeastern United States. Constructed in 2012 the unit has experienced persistent elevated humidity and excessive moisture ultimately leading to amplified fungal activity (mold growth) like that on the top of the kitchen cabinet in the photo.

South Florida – Luxury Condo Unit
Innovative Dehumidifier Systems was contacted by a property management company struggling to achieve appropriate humidity levels and control internal moisture generation in a 1-bedroom luxury condo in South Florida. The small apartment was conditioned by a 1.5 ton split air-conditioner which was ineffective at moisture removal due to excessive short-cycling. Unconditioned outside air introduced into the mechanical closet through a 4″ fresh-air duct was exacerbating the issue.

Richmond, VA – Senior Apartment Stairwells
A construction design team in Richmond, VA contacted Innovative Dehumidifier Systems for assistance with controlling excessive humidity in two unconditioned stairwells of a three-story senior apartment property. Four IW-25 dehumidifiers were installed on CMU walls in two unconditioned stairwells to remove moisture and control excessive humidity. Installation locations were selected adjacent to the first and third floors and units were installed using surface mount boxes. Prior to the installation, relative humidity (RH) inside the stairwells typically matched ambient conditions which occasionally reached as high as 85%RH. The project goal was to maintain RH below 60%RH in the stairwells. Click below to see the results and photos of the installation…
