Dehumidifiers in houses at Greenock Scotland.

Describes trials undertaken by BRE and ECRC at Inverclyde to test small domestic electric dehumidifiers in council houses. Assesses 3 types of machine, selected to give a range of extraction rates from 1-4 kg per day. These were supplied free of charge and the running costs reimbursed. Shows that the equipment did lower the moisture levels in the houses satisfactorily. Preliminary analysis of results show that the early BRE model predicting moisture and ventilation interactions work well.
