Building Humidity Either Too High Or Too Low

 This article from the HVACR Career website in New York has some helpful information about buildings and humidity levels which are either too high or too low. From the article's section on humidity levels being too high, it reads:

"What happens when indoor humidity is too high?

High humidity slows the evaporation of sweat from the skin, which is how we regulate body temperature. When sweat does not evaporate as readily, we feel more hot and sticky than we do when the air is drier, even when the temperature is the same.

Yet feeling too hot is only one effect of high humidity. Here’s what else can happen as relative humidity levels rise:

Heat-related illnesses, including heat rash, muscle cramps, heat exhaustion and even heat stroke

Growth of mold spores, dust mites, and other allergens

Bacteria and viruses that cause respiratory infections can more easily multiply and spread in high humidity

Musty odors can linger in the space

Increased levels of VOCs, ozone, and other pollutants

Damage to building structures and finishes from moist air and condensation"

Example Of Building With Improper HVAC System To Handle Humidity

This article from Whole Building Design Guide starts off with an example of a hotel which had its HVAC system improperly designed for high heat and humidity. It led to mold growing before the first guests arrived, and it ultimately led to supposedly $6 million in repairs/replacements which didn't need to happen:

While this is an extreme example, North Texas' high heat and humidity could lead to similar problems for your building if you are not careful.
