A question about humidity control of air flow...
________________________________________

::I would like to control the ventilation rate depending on the humidity of the internal air.
::Which control loop should I use (flow network)? I didn't find a match.
::I created the humidity source in the casual gain schedule.

::Do I need a plant?

::Does anyone have experience with humidity control?

Currently there is not a direct control of a flow component based on
humidity at a node in the flow network.  This could be an interesting
idea to consider for a future extension  of control.  We would need
to collect up information about the types of control that users
might want so please send your ideas/descriptions to jon at esru.strath.ac.uk
and we will collect these and see if there is a general approach that
could be implemented.

And all is not lost - one can treat humidity as a contaminate
and if you define humidity sources and sinks (much like you would
do CO2 sources and sinks) then you might be able to alter the
flow rate by the level of this contaminate.
