Claim:
A heat exchange element, comprising: a stacked-layer structure including sheet-like partition members having a moisture absorbent added thereto and spacing members stacked alternately, the spacing members joined with the partition members to form air flow passages together with the partition members, wherein each of the spacing members includes a plurality of section walls that divide a space between the partition member joined under the spacing member and the partition member joined on the spacing member into a plurality of flow passages, and first flow passages including first section walls formed with holes that bring flow passages adjacent the first flow passages in a same layer into flow communication with each other, and second flow passages including solid section walls for isolating the second flow passages from flow passages, in a same layer, adjacent the second flow passages, wherein the second flow passages and the first flow passages are arranged in an alternating order in each of the spacing members, the first section walls each form a joined portion and are formed with the holes at a plurality of positions thereof, the joined portions attached to the partition member, and the joined portion between the first section walls and the partition member are split by the holes formed at the plurality of positions.
