A recent question:

::What are the methods to can adjust the absolute humidity in the  
zone, if it is used to ::humidifier?

The answer depends on the use of the word "adjust".  One could add a  
latent
casual gain of X watts in the zone operations file to increase the RH in
the room.

There are options in the ideal zone control to control RH
by adding or extracting X grams of moisture (temperature control is
secondary) or with RH control secondary.
The term "absolute humidity" tends not to be used outside
of the detailed system components. It would probably not
be all that difficult to express this in terms of absolute humidity
but no one has implemented this yet.

I have noticed a bit a chatter on the site about treating moisture
like a contaminate and setting up air flow controls based on the
moisture contaminate levels.

There are options to include the zone in a detailed system component
network and in that context you have quite a few options and you
can track psychrometrics in detail.

Perhaps others in the community will have additional suggestions.
