Abstract

This study demonstrated that keeping windows open/closed and using air conditioning has an impact onhumidity in the crawlspace of foundation-nsulated houses with air vents. In the house, the centralh vent were prone to high humidity. The central crawlspacecrawlspace zone and areas directly under eacof the time than the other points, which was the cause of thezone had low temperatures a higher proportiolhigh relative humidity in the central crawlspace zone. As can be seen, the relative humidity in the crawlspacedropped approximately 20% when the air conditioning was in use. This demonstrates that the relativefloor air vent varied greatly depending on whether or not thehumidity in the crawlspace directly under theair conditioning was being used it can be cocluded that the airborne moisture entering through each ventd caused the absolute humidity there to rise to the same extentreached as far as the central crawlspace zone aas that directly under each air vent, and that therelative humidity in the central crawlspace zone rose more thanin other zones due to the low temperature.
