The aim of the curative solution is to thermally transform this area into a "warm wall". There are three ways to achieve this.

  • Solution 1. constantly lower and maintain the indoor relative humidity HR i < 30%, when T i = 19 °C and T e = - 5 °C.

    And also, be able to vary HR i according to variations in T e . Worth knowing:
