Humidity Performance
The Humidity Performance Hub
Humidity is a design variable.
We treat it like one.
Articles, guides, and field perspective for engineers, contractors, and owners who need to hold a humidity target, not just a temperature setpoint.

What is Humidity Performance?
Humidity Performance is the principle that a building’s climate system should be designed and measured by how precisely and efficiently it controls humidity, not just temperature. Buildings are tighter, latent loads are a larger share of the total, and conventional equipment was built to manage sensible heat first.

The Framework
Four principles, one outcome
Humidity Performance runs through four decisions every project makes. Each principle provides a practical way to design, select, control, and verify humidity performance throughout the life of a building.
01
Design
Set the humidity target before you build.
- $Read the article
02
Select
Choose equipment that holds that target across the full load range, including part load.
- }Coming Soon
Control
Control humidity independently of temperature, and set the controls up correctly.
- }Coming Soon
04
Verify
Confirm in operation that the building holds its target.

New to Humidity Performance?
These two pieces provide the best introduction to the idea and the engineering problem behind it.
What is Humidity Performance
Why buildings should set, control, and continuously verify humidity conditions, and the four principles that make the framework actionable.
Why One Coil Can't Cool and Dry at Once.
Aaron Meles, VP of Product, in ACHR News, on why tighter buildings make separated latent loads a design priority.

Terms to Know
The vocabulary of humidity
Humidity Performance is easier to design and evaluate when everyone is using the same language. Dew point and grains per pound describe the moisture in the air more directly than relative humidity, which changes with temperature.

Where Mojave fits
Mojave builds Humidity-First Climate Systems that control cooling, heating, and dehumidification independently. If humidity matters to how your building performs, explore the applications where intentional moisture control can make the biggest difference or connect with a Mojave representative.
