Free Digital Hygrometer for FM's

Free Digital Hygrometer for FM's JS Humidifiers is offering facilities managers and building owners a free digital hygrometer so they can test the humidity in their buildings and see whether it is within the recommended levels.

The optimum level of humidity depends on the use of a building but for normal occupation the recommended humidity is generally accepted as being between 40-60%rH (relative humidity). If an environment drops below 40%rH it can cause the occupants to suffer from headaches, sore throats, eye and skin irritation, contact lens discomfort and breathing problems.

Several professional bodies produce guidelines on appropriate humidity levels for offices. The Chartered Institute for Building Services Engineers, The Building Services Research & Information Association and The Building Research Establishment generally agree that the appropriate range of humidity in an office environment should be within a typical range of 40-60%RH.

In the UK, the Health and Safety Executive's Display Screen Equipment Regulations 1992, obliges employers to maintain a level of relative humidity that prevents discomfort and problems of sore eyes where people work at computer terminals for long periods.

As human beings are not very able to recognise low humidity levels in the same way as they can identify extreme temperatures it is important to use monitoring equipment. The free hygrometer from JS Humidifiers shows current humidity and temperature and can display minimum and maximum levels across any time period with its memory feature.
