overview

If the air is at a relative humidity of 40%, then the dew-point temperature is only 43°F. The walls and ceilings would therefore have to be significantly colder for the air to reach its dew-point and for water droplets to form.

How to achieve the correct temperature and air humidity: Tips for active heating and ventilation:

Check the dew-point! Surfaces of walls should not fall below a temperature of 59°F.

Avoid shutting off the heat completely when leaving the house for extended periods of time.

Ventilate in all weather conditions, even if it’s raining.

Open the windows for a short time to air the room. A partially opened window does not have the desired effect, wastes heating energy and can even promote the formation of mold.

If the room air is too dry, particularly in the winter, then electrical air humidifiers are recommended, since airing at low temperatures will tend to decrease the humidity further.

When airing a room, a few minutes should be sufficient. Check the value indicated on your Mold Alert thermo-hygrometer.
