When a Humidex is installed in these conditions, condensation may result, as the air from the upstairs comes in contact with cold surfaces (i.e. concrete walls, floors, etc.). The Humidex ventilation effect will over time increase the basement temperature and help prevent this condition, however, during the initial operating season;...
