Hotels and Hospitality

What you are seeing

Excess humidity in hotels can cause musty odours, condensation and mould in guest rooms, corridors, wardrobes and back-of-house areas. It may also affect bedding, textiles, furniture, decorative finishes and stored supplies. Even when the room temperature feels comfortable, high humidity can make the space feel damp and reduce the quality of the guest experience.

Why it happens

Hotels have constantly changing humidity loads. Guest occupancy varies, bathrooms generate moisture, doors open frequently, and large volumes of hot and humid outdoor air enter through ventilation systems. Unoccupied rooms may operate at reduced cooling levels, while laundries, kitchens, spa areas and coastal locations can create additional humidity challenges. Air conditioning controls temperature but may not maintain consistent humidity across all areas of the property.
