Content DescriptionHot and humid climates (HHC) present some of the most complex challenges for sustainable building design and operation to maintain high IAQ efficiently. Additionally, high temperatures and high humidity create extreme comfort issues and exacerbate the potential for condensation, mold, and mildew. Buildings in humid climates, especially in coastal locations, are also subject to rust and the decay of materials much more quickly than in other environments. In extreme situations, e.g., at Kwajalein or Okinawa, concrete elements of the building envelope break down, and condenser units installed outside of the building envelope must be replaced within two to three years due to premature corrosion caused by salt-laden ambient air. Additionally, many coastal areas located in HHC are frequented by tropical storms and hurricanes with heavy winds, which can force water into the building and be damaging to the building envelope. HHC provide unique challenges to HVAC, plumbing, and thermal energy system designers. Considering facility operation in the context of high OA temperatures and humidity, system reliability and building resiliency cannot be understated. This Guide describes best practice examples of robust and reliable systems emphasizing redundancy, durability, and functionality. The target audience for this Guide is technical experts involved in building and energy systems design, renovation, operation, and maintenance; architectural and engineering professionals; and energy service companies. The content of this Guide may also be of interest to building owners, executive decision-makers, and energy managers of public, government, and military organizations. The Guide was developed with partial support from the DOD Environmental Security Technology Certification Program, the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Energy and Sustainability), and the International Energy Agency Energy in Buildings and Communities Program Annex 73.Subscription InformationMADCAD.com ASHRAE subscriptions are annual and access is concurrency based (number of people that can access the subscription at any given time).

About ASHRAEASHRAE, founded in 1894, is a building technology society with more than 50,000 members worldwide. The Society and its members focus on building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality and sustainability within the industry. Through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education, ASHRAE shapes tomorrow’s built environment today.
ASHRAE was formed as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers by the merger in 1959 of American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHAE) founded in 1894 and The American Society of Refrigerating Engineers (ASRE) founded in 1904.
