Or others have insight as well, I'm sure.<br><br>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.<br><br>I searched buildingscience.com and found some interesting research results, but I need a primer that explains the issue first.<br><br><span><a target="_blank"
