New Construction/ Affordable Housing Project

The results of this study demonstrate the profound impact of supplemental dehumidification when used in new construction multifamily housing.

Unconditioned outside air introduced into the mechanical closet through a 4″ fresh-air duct was exacerbating the issue.
