Is John Straube out there? Or others have insight as well, I'm sure.
I'm trying to learn more about the "necessary" dehumidification a fairly tight
house in Tennessee would need. I mostly understand the concept that when
ventilated with an ERV, the Fall/Spring months will see an increase in interior
humidity because the ERV is not "dehumidifying"... or something like that.
See, I need to learn more about it.
I searched buildingscience.com and found some interesting research results, but
I need a primer that explains the issue first.

Thanks everyone!
