<DIV>This video about charcoal in Japan shows its use as an annual cycle
dehumidifier in a home. The relevant part of 28 minute video for this
aspect comes at 21:28. Any thoughts? 4,500 kilograms of charcoal were laid
in what looked like a crawl space to absorb humidity during the summer and give
off humidity in the winter. Much information was not included, like
climate, size of house, thermal envelope construction, ventilation, et.
However, this application of a desiccant is relevant to our core subject
of greenbuilding. Does anybody on list have experience using enough
desiccant to absorb humidity in summer and release back in the winter inside a
thermal envelope? </DIV>
