Design/Fabric new build considerations for someone sensitive to dry indoor air
Hello,
In all buildings I've so far lived in I have a problem with irritated nasal linings and congestion (not allergy related). Stepping outside relieves it rapidly and coming back indoors brings the symptoms back almost as quickly. Symptoms seem to be worse during windy and/or cold weather (especially when both windy and cold). I suspect the greater the propensity for moisture to evaporate within the home the worse the symptoms get. Based on that, what should I pay attention to in
This is a couple of trends of house and summer house. The house is MVHR (but not enthalpy). The second is a heated summer house with dMEV. The trends run from January and you can see when the heating was switched off there is a jump in RH humidity. But it does show an almost flat line in the house. Reducing ventilation rates would fix this. Something like Fresh-R ventilation will do this automatically as it does MVHR based on demand of humidity and CO2 sensed from the extract.
