Bacteria and viruses thrive in dry air. A too-dry room can cause that scratchy sore throat to last for days.

The result is reduced occurrences of allergic rhinitis, respiratory infections, and asthma among building occupants.
In addition, humidified spaces feel warmer and are more comfortable for occupants, especially in cold climates where heating systems run frequently.
