9th International Conference on Indoor Air Quality, Ventilation & Energy Conservation (IAQVEC), October 23-26, 2016, Songdo, South Korea. This project studied the relative humidity and indoor temperature variations in three houses in the pacific coastal climates. The houses have been monitored for one month in each four different seasons under different size of occupants, temperature variation and living conditions. These three houses represent different air tightness, number of occupants and floor size. The temperature and RH data loggers are used in every room in each house to better understand which rooms in a certain living conditions are more susceptible to moisture related problems. In addition, three existing models (European Indoor Class Model, ASHRAE 160P simple and intermediate models) are used to generate the indoor humidity level and the calculated values are compared to the measured field data.
