在几年的时间里，霍尼韦尔一直在详细研究住宅供暖和制冷系统。渗透速率的测量是thif1计划的重要组成部分。加湿也是本系统项目的主要内容。在工作过程中，渗透和内部相对湿度之间出现了意想不到的相关性。在人们注意到这一点之后，接下来一年的一些测试被设计用来研究这个特定的假设。因此，这项为期两年的研究并不像一开始设计的那样严格。这里提供了观察结果，因为它们表明，将相对湿度增加到通常较低的冬季室内相对湿度以上，可以显著节约能源。 在加湿的一般主题中，这是一个重要的考虑因素，尤其是在需要节能的情况下。作者希望其他人将来能进行确凿的实验。引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第83卷，第一部分，伊利诺伊州芝加哥

During a period of several years, Honeywell has been studying residential heating andcooling systems in great detail. The measurement of infiltration rates is an important partof thif1 program. Humidification is also of major interest in this systems project. Duringthe course of the work an unexpected correlation between infiltration and inside relativehumidity emerged. After this was noticed, some tests for the next year were designed tostudy this specific hypothesis. Therefore, the two-year study was not as rigorous as onedesigned for the purpose at the outset. The observed results are being offered here becausethey indicate a significant energy saving benefit from increasing relative humidity abovethe normally low winter indoor RH. This is an important consideration in the general subjectof humidification especially with the need for energy conservation.It is the authors' hope that others will perform corroborating experiments in thefuture.
