In hot, humid climates, reducing indoor humidity is an important part of making the homes’ indoor environment more comfortable, more durable, and healthier. In very humid climates, the air conditioner alone may not be able to remove enough latent heat to keep relative humidity below 60%. In such cases, supplemental dehumidification and humidity controls can be added to the HVAC system. This can include stand-alone dehumidifiers, a dehumidifier that is integrated into the central air conditioning system, or dehumidification controls that are added to the HVAC system to operate the cooling system for longer periods at a slower fan speed to allow more time for the coil to remove humidity from the air.
