Inomhusfuktnivå

Inomhusfuktnivå refers to the amount of water vapor present in the air inside a building. It is commonly measured as relative humidity, expressed as a percentage. This value indicates how saturated the air is with water vapor at a given temperature. Maintaining an optimal inomhusfuktnivå is crucial for both human health and the integrity of building structures. Excessively high levels can lead to the growth of mold, mildew, and dust mites, which can trigger allergies and respiratory problems. It can also cause damage to building materials such as wood rot, peeling paint, and corrosion. Conversely, very low inomhusfuktnivå can result in dry skin, irritated eyes, and increased susceptibility to infections. Typical recommended indoor humidity levels range from 40% to 60%. Factors influencing inomhusfuktnivå include weather conditions, occupant activities like cooking and showering, and the building's ventilation system. Monitoring and controlling humidity through proper ventilation, dehumidifiers, or humidifiers can help ensure a healthy and comfortable indoor environment.
