What you will learn • Why is Humidification Important? • Who Needs Humidification? • Humidification Product Portfolio • Application and Installation Overview • Positioning Humidification to Homeowners Click For Next Slide Why is Humidification Important? • Consumer need for Indoor Air Quality solutions mushroomed in the nineties as homes were starting to be built more tightly and people become more aware of health related issues. • It is estimated that 1-in-6 Americans have allergies, asthma or respiratory problems. While air cleaners and ventilation keep indoor air clean, proper humidification is needed to help control, minimize and eliminate unhealthy airborne pollutants. • There are five major reasons Humidification is important: • • • • • Health Comfort Energy Savings Consumer Need Consumer Demand Click For Next Slide Humidity & Health Optimum • The ASHRAE standard range for optimum ASHRAE recommended winter design level indoor relative humidity is between 40-60% Zone year round, and 35% during the heating season. Bacteria • Controlling indoor relative humidity is important to health because too little humidity can create microscopic cracks in a person’s nasal membrane, leaving the body more vulnerable Viruses to infections from bacteria and viruses. Fungi • Conversely, too much humidity creates ideal breeding conditions for mold, mildew and Mites dust mites; from which the waste products are among the most troublesome triggers of asthma and allergies. Respiratory Infections • Air conditioners, dehumidifiers and ventilation can keep RH levels from getting too high Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma during non-heating seasons, but during cold weather these homes need humidification to avoid the unpleasantness of too much or too little humidification. Chemical Interactions • And as requirements and need for ventilation systems grow, so too will the need for Ozone Production humidification. 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 Impact of Indoor Relative Humidity on Common Biologic Indoor Air Pollutants* Click For Next Slide *American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc 1985 90 Comfort & Energy Savings With proper humidification, Homeowners can: • Reduce static electricity, static cling, and dry irritated skin. • Protect the woodwork, furniture, and paintings from ‘drying out’ and cracking. • Reduce energy costs because moist air feels warmer than dry air, so Homeowners can set their thermostats back without noticing a drop in temperature, effectively saving money on their utility bills. In fact, lowering a thermostat just three degrees can reduce heating bills by 5% or more! Click For Next Slide Humidification Climates • Aside from coastal regions of the west and southeast, most every region in the U.S. can benefit from indoor humidification control. • Geographically, Southwest, Midwest, Northern and Mountainous areas of North America can benefit greatly from humidification. Humidification normally needed Humidification not normally needed Click For Next Slide Who Needs Humidification? • Families with children • People who suffer from respiratory dryness, cracked throat, dry nasal cavities • House healthy consumers • Transplants to new climate Click For Next Slide Benefits of Whole-House vs.. Portable • Higher and more evenly dispersed humidity throughout home. • Automatic water filling and emptying • Less maintenance • Out-of-sight, doesn’t take up space in the living areas of the home.

Click For Next Slide HE360 Fan-Power Operation • For even greater capacity, the HE365 powered flow-through uses an interior fan to humidify up to 18 gallons of water per day, humidifying a maximum capacity of 3000 sq feet. • The interior fan allows effective delivery of humidity regardless of system airflow velocities. The internal fan on the HE365 acts as a booster, sucking warm dry air from the supply plenum, through the HE365 blower fan and out into the supply. • Powered flow-through humidifiers do not require a bypass duct to create airflow through the pad. The humidifier fan sucks air into the humidifier and blows it out through the pad on its own. • For maximum efficiency, powered flow-through humidifiers should be mounted only to the supply plenum where the air temperature is hottest.
