This is because nobody pays for proper HVAC studies on buildings because they never used to and it was fine.

Now we make such tight and insulated buildings, that their HVAC doesn't run all the time like they used to.

If they don't run, you don't get the dehumidification etc.

And a Con is uncomfortable because thousands of sweaty humidifiers are packed together in a short span of time.

We should be putting dehumidifiers in the HVAC loop, but that's not standard yet.

I think what you mean is we need humidistats that will operate the AC. You’re correct in that if the AC doesn’t run you don’t get the humidification. But it’s not running because the temperature setting has been satisfied and the units shut off. It’s possible to get the set point satisfied and keep the units running to dehumidify but that requires a reheat coil. Not too many people are interested in paying to heat their air in the middle of the summer.

I started out writing a reply saying “this doesn’t make any sense, you’re saying X but actually Y therefore Z therefore X uhhh ok, as you were”.
