Sounds like a job for Pied Piper

Im in a PhD program at MIT where I mainly build embedded systems and its not something I would recommend unless you are passionate about it. Hardware is "hard" and frustrating to d…

Depends if you live in a climate where just regulating humidity is enough to guarantee thermal comfort, something that is dependent on humidity, operative temperature, clothing lev…

A lot of that is due to structures not having a proper vapor barrier, therefor allowing vapor exchange from the outside world which decreases in-wall condensation.

I think you can only separate them in radiative systems. But otherwise, a modern commercial HVAC system has a degree of mixing the air from the outside world to reduce gas and part…

This depends on the climate zone you’re in. In drier climates, some HVAC systems are actually humidifiers which blow the outside dry/hot air through a wet membrane (ex., desiccant)…

I would disagree with new houses not considering ventilation. There are set building standards (ASHRAE 62.1, 62.2, and ISO standards) that have been around for a while that specify…
