The objectives of this study were to determine a practical and cost-effective method of assessing the effectiveness of dehumidifiers in controlling moisture in houses, and to assess the usefulness of dehumidifiers in controlling general moisture conditions in houses in different regions of Canada. Results showed that in most regions of Canada, dehumidification is beneficial during the non-heating season, while year-round operation can be beneficial for houses located in milder coastal climates.
