Abstract:
A programmed module for controlling fans, ducting, dehumidifying and air sourcing for restoring a target site within a water-damaged building comprising:(a) a programmed controller element having input and output ports, wherein the input ports are connected to one or a plurality of outside absolute humidity sensors, one or a plurality of inside absolute humidity sensors, and one or a plurality of inside temperature sensors, wherein the output ports are connected to one or a plurality of fan systems, wherein the controller clement is programmed to compare if the outside air has a lower absolute humidity than the inside air whereupon the fan system output will be activated, or if the outside air has a higher absolute humidity than the inside air whereupon the fan system will be shut down, or if the target site temperature is below a preset input whereupon the fan system will be shut down;(b) an outside absolute humidity sensor measuring the absolute humidity of outside air adjacent to the building, and an inside absolute humidity sensor measuring the absolute humidity of air in a target site, wherein each absolute humidity sensor provides a signal to the input of the controller; and(c) a thermometer located in the target site providing a signal to the programmed controller element corresponding to the temperature of air in the target site.
