Frequently asked questions
What is a good indoor humidity level?
The Equipment Tracker app's reference gives a target of 30% to 50% relative humidity indoors, citing EPA and CDC guidance for mold and dust-mite prevention.
Where in that range does comfort usually sit?
In the middle, about 40% to 45%, and it varies by season, according to the app's reference.
Why is there an upper limit of 50%?
The app's reference gives mold and dust-mite prevention as the reason for the range, citing EPA and CDC guidance. For the full explanation read the EPA indoor air quality guide linked on this page.
Does this page give a dew point, a psychrometric chart or a dehumidifier size?
No. The Equipment Tracker app's humidity reference is the target range and a link to the EPA guide, so that is all this page shows.
Does this page store anything or need an account?
No to both. These are general industry reference values, not a guarantee for your specific equipment. Always verify against the manufacturer's own specifications.
