[8,9] The relationship between indoor humidity and air leakage and ventilation has been modelled to determine the effect of air exchange rate on indoor moisture level and to ezxamine the effect of other parameters, such as occupancy, building characteristics and external environmental prarmeters. Most of these parameters can have a significant impact on indoor humidity, esp. at a lower air exchange rate.
