    What It's About

    As multifamily buildings become tighter and more energy efficient, balanced mechanical ventilation is no longer optional—it is a critical part of the building enclosure strategy. But airflow alone does not tell the full story. Humidity, particularly latent moisture, plays a major role in indoor air quality, comfort, and durability, yet is often underestimated. This program, presented and sponsored by Zehnder America, explores the building science behind ventilation and humidity control in high-performance multifamily buildings. We'll examine air and moisture movement, common design and operational pitfalls, and what building professionals need to know to deliver consistent airflow and moisture control across seasons and climates. Gain a practical framework for evaluating systems and integrating humidity control into overall building performance.
