Humiditiy Issues

[mark]

Here's my issue, in my bedroom and the kids we have blinds that fit close to the window that we roll down at night to keep the rooms dark. Now finding that with the outside temperature getting to freezing and below that in the morning when we roll the blinds up, there's condensation on the windows. Also will find if really cold out and say I'm boiling a big pot of pasta and forget to turn on the kitchen fan, might get condensation on some of the other windows. The bedroom windows will normally be dry in the afternoon if not wiped and other windows usually stay clear.

Would a HRV stop the condensation?

Maybe.

I have the same problem, and I have an HRV. The window coverings we use add to the R factor which keeps warm air on the inside and the air that gets trapped between the window and the blinds, all 1" of it or whatever, cools down and the humidity condenses on the glass.

With the HRV, they dry out quickly, but with the blinds down, the HRV can't do anything about the glass itself.

I'm the last one up so I just roll my blinds up before I go to bed.

Hey thank you for all those who replied. HRV it is most appreciated
