- Summary:
- A parametric study was conducted using EnergyPlus version 4.0 to analyze the impact of various dehumidification equipment and control strategies on a typical mid-1990's reference home, a 2006 IECC home, and a high-performance home in a hot humid climate. Space relative humidity, thermal comfort, and whole house energy consumption were analyzed. The study was compared with past published modeling results (Henderson et al., 2008). The results confirmed that supplemental dehumidification must be provided in a high-performance home in order to maintain space conditions below 60% relative humidity. A detailed analysis was conducted to examine indoor relative humidity excursions; specifically the number of excursions, average excursion length, and maximum excursion length. Recommendations were made on dehumidification options in high-performance homes.
