Claim 0:
1. An humidity control apparatus for a building comprising:
at least a first temperature sensor mounted to monitor temperature inside said building;
at least a first humidistat at which a set humidity value is input, and at least a first humidity senor mounted to monitor humidity inside said building;
a source of weather forecast data input;
a memory of thermal properties of said building; and a processor;
said processor being operable to receive input values from at least said first temperature sensor; at least said first humidistat and said source of weather forecast data input;
said processor being operable to monitor observed temperature and observed humidity at least at said first temperature sensor and at least at said first humidity sensor respectively;
said processor being operable to make a forward projection of humidity level within said building as a function of said weather forecast data input; and
said control apparatus being operable to output environmental control signals to adjust humidity within said building toward said forward projection of humidity level.
