Re: Re: Never had central air/ CARL

[Guest guest]

Hi Carl,

Okay. She was my only source. Perhaps she does

not have air conditioning and perhaps she does

not have any mold and speaking from that

perspective. Maybe she thinks the heat is a

national thing, heat wave and will not continue.

My conversation was not that long. That's what

she said. Perhaps a/c is many times the culprit

and fact they don't and apparently her circle of

acqaintenance which may be small, don't have a/c

and have not had mold problems.

I didn't mean to slam you. Just wanted to set the record straight.

Actually, I agree that A/C can be a MAJOR problem for a number of

reasons. It has been a common complaint long before mold became the

problem it is now is seen to be. There are issues with temperture,

humidity, air movement, growth of mold and bacteria on the coils,

distribution of mold and other pollutants from a single source to

throughout the whole building, noise and vibration.

On the positive side, the main organization for A/C is ASHRAE and

they are making strong and deliberate moves to finally address indoor

air quality from the human perspective.

Hi Carl,

I didn't take offense. I'm glad to hear ASHAE is

addressing problems. I believe one should

address humidity and temperature separately, so

you can dehumidify without cooling and vice

versa. I assume that could be done, not sure.

That's certainly what I would want.

Barb,

Glad you didn't take offense. As to addressing humidity and

temperature separately, while that may be nice, it is impossible.

Humidity is Relative Humidity, and what it is relative to is

Temperature. You can't change one without changing the other.

However, it is possible to dehumidify without cooling all the air in

the building - but it is difficult and very expensive and is still

based on the relativity of the moisture in the air to the temperature

of the air.

I can't see how the windows would be fogged unless it's on the

outside. If that is the case your ac and dehumidifiers are working

ok. If it's on the inside than they must not be functioning properly

or are to small to handle the load your putting on them. Read the

owners manual and see how many square feet they can handle.

Of course if your ac is cooling ok than obviously it's large enough to

handle the load you are putting on it and their should be no moisture

on the inside of the windows in my unprofessional opinion.

it is on the outside.
