Be sure to account for all moisture loads in the calculations, including occupants, ventilation air and infiltration. \n• If the relative humidity or moisture in the indoor air is high, evaluate whether the air conditioning unit has an oversized design-sensible capacity or an undersized design-latent capacity. Design-latent (dehumidification) capacity of the system should be based on design dehumidification conditions for the location (design dew point temperature and mean coincident dry bulb temperature) as described in the ASHRAE Humidity Control Design Guide for Commercial and Institutional Buildings, Chapter 10.\n• Schools in humid climates may need dehumidification throughout the entire year. If constant-air-volume HVAC systems are used in classrooms, provide continuous humidity control based on a scheme that provides dehumidification in response to a humidistat, as described in ASHRAE Humidity Control Design Guide for Commercial and Institutional Buildings, Chapter 18. Alternatively, variable-air-volume systems often can provide better indoor humidity control than traditional constant-air-volume systems when the dew point at the cooling coil remains sufficiently low across a range of sensible load conditions. \nNote: \nIn humid climates, temperature control for constant-air-volume HVAC systems is unlikely to provide adequate humidity control because the ventilation air often will introduce a significant moisture load when there is a very small or negligible sensible heat load. Moisture problems occur when a thermostat controls sensible capacity without regard to latent load (relative humidity or dew point). \n• Maintain indoor relative humidity below 60%, ideally between 30% and 50%, if possible, except in spaces in which occupancy and functional requirements dictate otherwise. \n• Ensure the regularly scheduled maintenance of humidification equipment installed to maintain a low relative humidity limit, to avoid microbiological problems.\n• Ensure proper indoor moisture control during all summer months. Schools are not necessarily vacant during summer months, as some schools have year-round activities (e.g., summer classes, summer day camps). If there is a summer shutdown program for the school building, control indoor moisture by monitoring temperature, relative humidity and condensation and specifying HVAC operation to maintain indoor conditions that prevent moisture/mold problems and maintain the indoor relative humidity within acceptable limits. Consider incorporating an alarm to alert for an excessive indoor relative humidity or dew point condition.\nNote:\nGymnasium floors constructed of maple typically require an indoor humidity range of 35% to 50% relative humidity to prevent damage. Although brief excursions outside this range (e.g., less than 8 hours) are typically allowed, it is an important consideration for school building summer shutdown programs.\nFor mechanically ventilated buildings, ensure that building meets the exfiltration requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62.1, such that the minimum outdoor air intake equals or exceeds the maximum exhaust airflow, allowing for the exceptions provided in the standard."]

Be sure to account for all moisture loads in the calculations, including occupants, ventilation air and infiltration. \n• If the relative humidity or moisture in the indoor air is high, evaluate whether the air conditioning unit has an oversized design-sensible capacity or an undersized design-latent capacity. Design-latent (dehumidification) capacity of the system should be based on design dehumidification conditions for the location (design dew point temperature and mean coincident dry bulb temperature) as described in the ASHRAE Humidity Control Design Guide for Commercial and Institutional Buildings, Chapter 10.\n• Schools in humid climates may need dehumidification throughout the entire year. If constant-air-volume HVAC systems are used in classrooms, provide continuous humidity control based on a scheme that provides dehumidification in response to a humidistat, as described in ASHRAE Humidity Control Design Guide for Commercial and Institutional Buildings, Chapter 18. Alternatively, variable-air-volume systems often can provide better indoor humidity control than traditional constant-air-volume systems when the dew point at the cooling coil remains sufficiently low across a range of sensible load conditions. \nNote: \nIn humid climates, temperature control for constant-air-volume HVAC systems is unlikely to provide adequate humidity control because the ventilation air often will introduce a significant moisture load when there is a very small or negligible sensible heat load. Moisture problems occur when a thermostat controls sensible capacity without regard to latent load (relative humidity or dew point). \n• Maintain indoor relative humidity below 60%, ideally between 30% and 50%, if possible, except in spaces in which occupancy and functional requirements dictate otherwise. \n• Ensure the regularly scheduled maintenance of humidification equipment installed to maintain a low relative humidity limit, to avoid microbiological problems.\n• Ensure proper indoor moisture control during all summer months. Schools are not necessarily vacant during summer months, as some schools have year-round activities (e.g., summer classes, summer day camps). If there is a summer shutdown program for the school building, control indoor moisture by monitoring temperature, relative humidity and condensation and specifying HVAC operation to maintain indoor conditions that prevent moisture/mold problems and maintain the indoor relative humidity within acceptable limits. Consider incorporating an alarm to alert for an excessive indoor relative humidity or dew point condition.\nNote:\nGymnasium floors constructed of maple typically require an indoor humidity range of 35% to 50% relative humidity to prevent damage. Although brief excursions outside this range (e.g., less than 8 hours) are typically allowed, it is an important consideration for school building summer shutdown programs.\nFor mechanically ventilated buildings, ensure that building meets the exfiltration requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62.1, such that the minimum outdoor air intake equals or exceeds the maximum exhaust airflow, allowing for the exceptions provided in the standard."]
