Moisture Control in Air Conditioning Systems

What should moisture readings be for internal walls?

Moisture content is a significant factor in maintaining the structural integrity and indoor air quality of a building. Excessive moisture can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and health issues for occupants.

In air conditioning systems, moisture control plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal performance and preventing moisture-related problems. The ideal moisture content for internal walls in air-conditioned spaces is typically between 5 and 10 percent:

  • Readings below 5% may indicate insufficient moisture, which can lead to dry, cracked walls.
  • Readings above 10% indicate excessive moisture, which can promote mold growth and structural damage.

Therefore, it is essential to monitor moisture levels in internal walls and take appropriate measures to maintain the recommended range.
