Oddly enough we don't have a problem with humidity. With over 350 gallons of water in the family room I fully expected to have to put in some kind of de-humidifier, but as of yet there is no problem. Air is comfortable, no sweating windows. We have air conditioning on in the summer and the unit has a dehumidifier built-in, so I wasn't worried about the summer months, but why there is no humidity in the winter I have no idea.

Windows open a crack when home, dehumidifier when not.

Edit: Oh ya, the bathroom fan. Have that on a timer. Runs 3 hours on, 1 off. In a condo. I also took the dooorsill away from my front door to the hallway.

Cheers,
