New studies correlate moderate indoor humidity levels with reduced viral and bacterial infections in both young and elderly building occupants. Other health benefits are also seen with these humidity levels. This seminar presents these results, as well as updates on the high-pressure fogging systems recently allowed in healthcare facilities by BSR/ASHRAE/ASHE Addendum m to ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170-2013. In addition, the expected break-even points of some of the currently available humidification solutions will be shown.
