WINDOW CONDENSATION The Learning Center Controlling the sources of moisture and increasing ventilation are the best ways to reduce humidity levels in your home.  Vent all gas burners, clothes dryers, etc. to the outdoors. Install kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans. If there are a large number of plants in the house during winter, concentrate them in one sunny room and avoid over-watering. Ensure humidifiers are correctly set according to the outside temperatures. Keep basements as dry as possible by waterproofing floors and walls. Run a dehumidifier, if necessary. Make sure attic vents are open and unobstructed. As a temporary solution to an acute problem, open a window in each room for a few minutes. Opening windows allows the stale, humid air to escape, and fresh, dry air to enter. The heat loss will be minimal. After a shower, for example, open the bathroom windows or turn on the exhaust fan, so steam can get outside instead of remaining in the house. Consult a local heating and ventilating contractor to help determine whether ventilation is adequate and whether it can be improved.               15.
