Humidity Impact on Indoor Comfort
High indoor humidity levels can turn a cozy home into a sweltering, uncomfortable space. The thermostat might be set to a comfortable temperature, but the moisture-laden air makes it feel much warmer.
Daikin’s advanced HVAC solutions offer homeowners powerful tools to monitor, visualize, and address high humidity issues. By focusing on moisture control, ventilation, and precise indoor comfort management, your HVAC system can transform your living environment into a balanced, comfortable space.
Humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in our atmosphere. When it’s too high, your space can feel muggy even at moderate temperatures. Excess humidity can create an environment where mold and mildew flourish, producing musty odors and potentially exacerbating allergies and respiratory issues.1 Low humidity can be drying to the skin and can cause respiratory irritation.2
If simple measures fail to restore excess humidity buildup, such as sealing leaks, using exhaust fans, or insulating problem areas, it may be time to explore the Daikin ONE Ecosystem, a connected network of Daikin HVAC and indoor air quality products that work together to enhance your indoor comfort environment.
