Hi Terry, It is simply nearly impossible in most areas to control a house to within 5% humidiy year round. Therefore whole house control is an impossible goal. Sometimes with great effort a single room that has *no* exterior walls can be controlled at that level. Talk to your local Art Gallery or Museum conservatore. Properly designed Art Gallerys have three areas usually. One that is almosst uncontrolled, a second inside that used as a *buffer* where control is attempted, and finally an area where they go to the limit. But even within those areas sometimes they use a special humidity controlled case. At 10:37 AM 07/07/2001 -0400, you wrote: > >Whole house humidity control is by far the best.
