Summary

It's easy to forget, what you can't see – if we live in the Nordic region or other colder areas, we could acknowledge that the air feels dry and the indoor climate is less comfortable during wintertime, i.e. we experience cold, dry spells. In addition to impaired indoor comfort, research shows that a dry indoor environment is also one of the causes of seasonal illnesses such as influenza. In this article, we will introduce the reasons behind a dry indoor environment and how it affects us and a few simple tips on what we can do to make the indoor climate more comfortable in the winter. We can have the systems/controls for handling humidity indoors in place for the next cold season if we start planning straight away!
