Podcasts about dehumidifiers

Jenny Smith @mouldconsultancy has been an HVAC specialist (heating/ventilation/air conditioning) for decades - she's had clients from NASA to the biggest commercial property developers and even wrote the manual on A/C split system installation for Australia in the early 2000s. And then there was mould and becoming gravely ill to the point she was falling asleep at the wheel and couldn't walk. She tells that story but also of a pivot to building biology, education and what she's had build as her home to be well. While this show is going to be incredibly inspiring for people who have fallen very ill due to water damage and those nasty types of species that grow in those situations that can really mess with our health and cause multi-system symptom mahem, it's also for: People who want to learn some of the places we don't realise need a good clean.People who want to learn about some of the design features in modern homes that have caused so many water leaking problems. Dehumidifier tips and tricks including cleaning themAnd more. Don't be overwhelmed by the lengths Jenny has to go for her health when you listen to this week's show. DO be inspired by her incredible knowledge and some of the things you'll be able to take away and start doing in your own home.

Send us Fan MailHumidity can make a normal summer day feel unbearable and it can quietly wear down your house at the same time. We're sweating through an Ohio heat wave and using it as a real-life lesson in comfort science: why the same temperature feels completely different depending on moisture, and why “just drop the thermostat” is often the most expensive way to solve the problem.We dig into humidity control for homeowners and home buyers, including why moisture is the enemy of buildings. Mold risk, musty smells, material breakdown, and even health issues often start with damp air that never really leaves. We also talk through a simple home inspection mindset shift: seeing a dehumidifier doesn't automatically mean there's a defect. In many homes, it's preventative maintenance and a sign someone is taking indoor air quality seriously.Then we get practical. We share our own setup and settings, why we aim around 45% relative humidity, and how running a dehumidifier can make 75°F feel genuinely comfortable while helping your HVAC system work less. We also explain dew point in plain language using a commercial inspection example where humid air hit cold metal and caused water to drip, a situation that looks like a leak but is often condensation.If you want a clearer plan for managing indoor humidity, choosing a dehumidifier (including why a pump model is worth it), and keeping your home comfortable during muggy weather, press play.

In this short Q&A podcast episode, Bryan answers a question from Evan, a licensed mold assessment consultant, about system oversizing: What can be done when an HVAC system is oversized to control humidity and keep occupants comfortable? The extent of the problem will depend on how badly the equipment is oversized, whether it has any turn-down or staging, and how the latent capacity is set up. To make the equipment work as best as it can, reducing the airflow to about 350 CFM per ton can help, as well as properly setting up dehumidification modes. The downside to slower airflow is a likely increase in cabinet and duct sweating. In brand-new houses, it may be possible to swap the condenser (though it may be unlikely with the recent refrigerant change) and then drop airflow at the air handler. You can use AHRI's data to look for a possible match and then check the manufacturer's expanded performance data to verify whether a new condenser is a match.  It's also possible to decouple the latent and sensible loads by installing a dehumidifier. However, completely decoupling the loads is not always practical, as a properly-sized HVAC system is the main source of dehumidification (and the dehumidifier fills in the gaps). Dehumidifiers need to be installed properly (with the supply ducted into the supply duct).  Intentionally derating the equipment's cooling capacity, such as via reheat, will turn it into a better dehumidifier, but you're still adding sensible BTUs and need to be aware of the consequences of that, including higher power bills. You can use electric reheat, remove insulation, or remove shades from windows. Using a smaller compressor until the system can be replaced and downsized would achieve a similar effect but comes with other negative consequences. Right-sizing equipment, load-matching, and managing air movement and heat transfer are ultimately the keys to preventing moisture problems.   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Cult thinking. Groupthink. Black and white thinking. “Loud, vocal thinkers' and how extreme sound bites dominate the modern media landscape thanks to algorithms, painting a ‘majority picture' when most people are not living out those extremes in day-to-day lives.It's quite a time to be alive, and also a time when it's very easy to let the fear of something cloud our ability to judge the reality of a situation fully. Is “Apatheism” a new way forward? I've always been fascinated by people we turn into our saviours and gurus, as well as charismatic authoritarians who sweep in and seduce us in our personal or collective vulnerable times.. That moment we start rationalising and making excuses for a cult leader, where perhaps a couple of years ago, we'd have been dead against that very thing/person we now defend.On Monday, I explore the murky waters of freedom, autonomy, cults and social systems with Professor of Political Science and Constitutional Law, Adam Scott Kunz, who specialises in cults and political philosophy and has worked alongside the famed Dr Janja Lalich, considered a global authority on cults, until her recent retirement.This show is NOT an attack on anyone, your beliefs, your religion, the diet you feel healthiest on or other held views, but a show to see how we can ensure we are “critical thinking” and not just believing we are, and how we can balance beliefs with values with freedom and come together on common overlaps that benefit us all and how we all struggle with freedom and belonging and ‘others'. One thing I know for sure after this conversation is that the best thing is to know we don't know anything for sure. So there you go!

Many of us in the building industry turn to Nikki for all questions dehumidification (certainly including this weeks hosts, Jake & Pete). Nikki goes toe to toe with HVAC techs with a degree in communications and that is because she understands that you have to go tech if you are representing technical products such as dehumidifiers. She connects indoor air quality, occupant comfort, and moisture management. Cool discussion of adding the "D" to HVAC: HVACD or HVAC+D. And apologies to all those expecting (forbearing?) Steve's closing humor...PETE'S RESOURCES:- "High Performance Dehumidification: Upgrading our basement dehumidifier" - https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/article/high-performance-dehumidification- "Humidity, Health, and the Sterling Chart" - https://www.energyvanguard.com/blog/humidity-health-and-sterling-chart/- "Optimizing Energy Efficiency and Improved Dehumidification" (FSEC) - https://publications.energyresearch.ucf.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/FSEC-PF-473-18.pdf

In this short podcast episode of the Q&A series, Bryan answers a question about testing dehumidifiers (submitted by Steven via Speakpipe).  Dehumidifiers run air over a cold evaporator coil (to pull moisture out of the air and drain it out) and then reheat it over a condenser coil. The air leaving a dehumidifier is of a higher sensible temperature than the air going in, but there are fewer overall grains of moisture. To see how well a dehumidifier is working, you will need to know the dehumidifier's rating and have the manufacturer's charts at your disposal. You'll also need to be mindful of barometric pressure and know the basics of using a psychrometric chart or app. You'll want to monitor the dew point delta (the difference between the dew point of the air going in and the air going out) to determine how well a dehumidifier is doing its job. Entering air conditions will heavily impact a dehumidifier's performance, and power consumption is another important measure of dehumidifier efficiency. To collect data, you must place one psychrometer at the dehumidifier inlet and one at the outlet; you'll get the dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures needed to make a comparative measurement and plot points on the psychrometric chart. You can also measure the condensate output and do the math to determine how much moisture is being removed per hour, but that would hinge on constant operation and consistent entering air conditions.   "Dehumidifier Facts and Troubleshooting" tech tip by Genry Garcia: https://hvacrschool.com/dehumidifier-facts-troubleshooting/  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

This podcast is a big exploration of several important topics of our times (Das hates the word ‘conversation' and shares why in the show) People feel jaded seeing injustices inflicted on people, from corporate to political to personal, without a sense of real accountability for actions taken and how that's impacting everything from polarization to lack of success in environmental care and regeneration. The corporatisation of not-for-profits and climate change are feeding into many people's scepticism that the policies and solutions being tabled will get us results. Wild Animals and Das' book “Wild Quests” to help remind us what needs our attention and witness. Why “Donate $1 a day to save the Koala/Nature reserve/World” is not working. Living with our own contradictions - impossible to escape if we want to unite over what will make a difference. Das isn't here to give people comfortable ‘off ramps' and this was definitely a thought provoking hour exploring things we're all often thinking about, also often despairing over the state of, and yet never moving forward and we aim to light a fire or remind us to find our overlaps and common ways to move forward.

For Parents trying to learn practical skills about parenting and caring in the age of so much technology and now AI, we're often very quickly scared to death: The algorithms favour sensationalist, fear-based marketing: the worst of the worst facts get preference over moderate, nuanced skill-building messaging and we tend to then act out of fear when communicating with our kids around tech, instead of curiosity, building trust, teaching boundaries and validating their interests with their safety in mind. No2. For Kids, the algorithms can serve sensational, sexual or violent content that they're not ready for and don't know how to deal with in a healthy way, often sometimes feeling shame or breeding secrecy over what they've discovered or private conversations they've been invited to. We need to figure out how to be better flashlights for their spotlight minds, and Dr Jocelyn Brewer is back on the podcast to help us take a deep breath and get really good at it. We cover:Gaming/Gaming styles and connection and community green/red flagsTech usage and how we talk about it with our kids (pro tip: WITH, not AT for starters!)Our fears around risk can create a win/lose battle where no one wins. Social media - we're consuming a product, NOT the effort behind it. Kids don't realise. DMs/Messaging and navigating communication and kids knowing how to deal with tough things friends go through (SO good!) Escalation - communication, content, sensationalism in algorithms. AI and the way forward with the pervasive amount of synthetic content now being generated and shared. Share it far and wide - I haven't spoken to a single parent or teacher who hasn't got concerns over some of these topics, and we need more practical skill building, not more fear and denial.

There could be a million different reasons this hour might improve your life. You will have to listen and find out, but all I will say is don't delay. That we have Gay and Katie Hendricks, their separate and collaborative bodies of work and their books to share so much wisdom, makes me feel good about the world and I'm overjoyed to bring them to you in the show this week. We talk about all this and more: Creative Possibility - how to harness it and foster it. Conscious living - what it is in practice and how it doesn't look ‘one way' for all. The magic of appreciating and taking time to notice each other and our uniquenessKatie's “Presence; connect; play” exerciseUpper Limit Problems - How to notice self-sabotage and whether you might secretly believe you don't deserve to experience a great life. That health problem that keeps popping up? Could it be an upper limit problem of yours? I share an old one. Chronic pain and attention issues are often the symptoms, not the problem. Love and connection to get closer together with the people we love.Put simply: We explore many big things this week that will crack us open to be put back together even better, Kintsugi-style.

We have more specialists than ever before, yet we are sicker than ever before. That's why I am thrilled to bring you this week's show, because it's a story of two practitioners. This is a treat if you are a parent and: You're struggling to pinpoint what your child's breathing, behavioural, focus, congestion, crooked teeth or headache issues are stemming from when you've tried lots of things.You think there might be a link between an ‘event' and your child's current issues (a fall, a trauma, a bone break…)You want the money you spend on your child's teeth (it's a LOT these days!) to actually amount to solutions and lasting results. You crave a new paradigm where we move away from the world where we're sicker than ever, we have more specialists than ever, and you hate the merry-go-round you've been on with your kid, spending lots with few resultsYou love big-picture thinking when it comes to healthYou want to have more empowered conversations about your child's health with your primary care doctor or dentist and be better versed in issues that could be at play. Share it far and wide with parents you know, and I'll also say, super useful for adults who've had long-term musculoskeletal or dental/jaw structure issues to look at the bigger picture for yourself, too. - Enjoy the show, Alexx xCole Clayton and Jalal Khan started The Quantum Kid after a mutual friend insisted they meet or she would force them! Within 6 months their business is achieving goals they set for 2-3 years. After combined 30 years of focused effort The Quantum Kid was an overnight success. Cole and Jalal set about to create a formula unique in healthcare, an approach to helping kids thrive that involves both practitioners working together in the same room to ensure the structures of the face, jaws and skull are ideally aligned.

Today's episode is all about moisture mitigation in our homes. We all know that excess moisture can lead to mold, but its also responsible for increased chemical offgassing.  This show for everyone, even if you think you live in a dry climate and dont have anything to worry about.   Nikki Krueger is the Director of Marketing & Business Development Manager for Santa Fe freestanding and whole house ventilating dehumidifiers. She has been involved in the indoor air quality industry for over 20 years. She is a RESNET certified home energy rater, a member of the ACCA Manual Low Load Homes (LLH) Advisory Committee, sits on the building envelope committee for the Spray Polyurethane Foam Association, has completed the ACCA Residential Design for Quality Installation Certification, and is serving on the 2024 National Green Building Standard update committee. She educates homeowner, builders, HVAC contractors, architects, engineers, crawl space contractors, and other professionals in the industry on the building science of ventilation and moisture control in buildings.    

Nikki Krueger and Genry Garcia return to the podcast to talk about a recent IAQ & dehumidification case study on a vintage home in Miami. The home was very clean but had a musty odor and VOC concerns. You can read the case study in the “Literature” section at https://www.santa-fe-products.com/about-us/media-resources/ or https://hvacrschool.com/case-study.  Blower door tests and ZPD revealed that the home was leaky, and the crawlspace was also not properly encapsulated. The options were to tighten the building and/or mitigate the problem by improving the HVAC system. The homeowners chose to improve the HVAC, which Genry did by installing a ventilating dehumidifier (Santa Fe Ultra98H), reducing system tonnage (3.5 to 2 tons), and putting in new ductwork. One of Genry's key tips to address intermittent moisture issues is to pay attention to fluctuating pressures, not just under the blower door test conditions. Ongoing monitoring is crucial in these studies to measure the home under several different typical conditions. He also relies on blower door tests to determine if encapsulation is necessary or needs improvement, as insulation and encapsulation can bring new issues in their wake.  Extensive testing and working with other contractors (such as home insulators) are the best ways to get a solution that makes the homeowner happy. We need a holistic approach to design to achieve a homeowner's IAQ and comfort goals, not necessarily following strict design guidelines to a T. Nikki, Genry, and Bryan also discuss: Zonal pressure diagnostics (ZPD) Dehumidifier ductwork Dehumidifier selection Attic encapsulation, condensation, and duct leakage MAD AIR The importance of IAQ case studies and the insights we can get from them Effects of insulation Dehumidifier performance in part-load conditions Mechanical equipment design Consulting the ACCA design manuals Maintaining equipment and sustaining positive results   Stay tuned for the companion tech tip.
