Humidity
« Back to Glossary Index
The amount of water vapor present in the air. It is often expressed as relative humidity (RH), which is the percentage of moisture in the air relative to the maximum it could hold at that temperature. For example, 50% RH means the air holds half the moisture it could at that temperature. HVAC systems sometimes include humidifiers or dehumidifiers to control humidity because both very low and very high humidity can affect comfort and health.
