Concept:
Whole building HAM: humidity level in houses
"Significant sources of indoor moisture usually include soil moisture migrating through foundations and floor slabs; showering and bathing; humidifiers; clothes dryers that are not vented to the outside; indoor storage of fire-wood; and backdrafting of gas-fired appliances. Seemingly minor sources such as occupant respiration and perspiration; cooking; dishwashing; floor mopping; plants; aquariums; and seasonal desorption from building materials, when considered in total, can make a size-able contribution (Smulski, S., 1999, Durability of energy-efficient wood-frame houses)
