What are temperature and humidity?

Temperature refers to the degree of hotness or coldness of a space, while humidity measures the amount of moisture or water present in the air.

How do they affect me, and how can I manage them?

Temperature and humidity levels play a crucial role in indoor comfort and overall well-being. High humidity levels can lead to discomfort, promote mold growth, and exacerbate respiratory issues. Conversely, low humidity can cause dry skin, irritation, and static electricity buildup.

You can manage temperature and humidity by maintaining optimal levels for comfort and health. Proper ventilation, insulation, and air conditioning systems can help regulate temperature, while dehumidifiers and humidifiers can adjust humidity levels as needed.

How are they measured?

Temperature is typically measured in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C), while humidity is measured as a percentage (%). The WELL Building Standard in Abound for temperature is set to maintain a comfortable range, between 70-77°F (21-25°C), with humidity ideally between 30-60%.
