The influence of occupant activities and behaviour on indoor humidity of Chinese residential buildings
Both high and low humidity problems are widely happening in China. With the goal of investigating the influence of occupant activities and behaviour on indoor humidity of Chinese residential buildings, a questionnaire survey was designed and applied for the collection of household activities and behaviour linked to moisture and its related consequences. Based on a household moisture calculator developed by UKCMB, the indoor moisture production was calculated. Through statistical analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that a large amount of moisture is caused by occupancy, cooking, baths and showers, and washing and drying clothes indoor Chinese houses. Furthermore, mould and condensation are most common in bathrooms and kitchens. In consideration of the actual window opening behaviour and the heating and cooling system control in the participants’ dwellings, inhabitants should increase natural ventilation when or after washing clothes, taking showers and cooking.
