Building and company owners are required to keep humidity levels in
the health comfort range for their office workers, which is normally between 35 and 50% RH.
By increasing comfort, concentration and efficiency will improve in offices, thereby enhancing
company productivity. This also prevents absenteeism due to health issues caused by dry air,
such as eye irritation, skin problems, respiratory diseases and even increased stress.
As mentioned in ASHRAE standard 16, the risk of bacteria and pathogens are considerably decreased
between 30 and 60% RH, while viruses are greatly reduced in the same range. Following this
recommendation is crucial in offices because it is one of the spaces where occupants spend
most of their time.
When the air is dry, electronic equipment like printers and copy machines, computers and telephones
is also affected because electrostatic buildup can damage them. Dry air can also damage
expensive wood flooring and structure by causing it to warp and crack. Overall, humidity
control can better the equipment’s operation and the preservation of infrastructure in
offices while also keeping workers happy, motivated and comfortable.
