Daikin: virus crisis shows importance of managing indoor climate

A series of medical studies have shown that managing humidity as well as temperature plays a vital role in reducing the risk from cross-infection in all types of buildings. During the winter months, indoor air is much drier and this is the time when we see most transmission of disease. That is why the UK government has put so much store in trying to delay the worst of the outbreak until the spring and summer months push up ambient temperatures and return relative humidity (RH) to between 40 and 60%.
