Using a fixed dehumidifier to lower indoor humidity below 60% in multi-family housing
The results of this study demonstrate the profound impact of supplemental dehumidification when used in new construction multifamily housing. The conclusion clearly shows how the AC system, without the benefit of the IW-25 dehumidifier, struggles to maintain a consistent temperature as a result of the latent (moisture) load inside the unoccupied apartment while the system working in conjunction with the IW-25 maintains a steady temperature range; thus proving a reduction in moisture as well as the energy load on the AC.
