In today's episode of the Build Show, Travis presents an in-depth look at dedicated dehumidification systems for whole-house moisture control. From the Prairie Sun and Timber project, he showcases the latest advancement in dehumidification technology: the Santa Fe 205 whole-house dehumidifier. The Santa Fe 205 represents a significant upgrade from smaller point-of-use units, capable of removing 205 pints of moisture per day to serve entire residential structures. This Energy Star-rated system features innovative efficiency enhancements, including a pre-cooling mechanism that optimizes performance before air reaches the main condensing coil. The unit integrates seamlessly with existing HVAC systems through return and supply ductwork connections, offering superior energy efficiency compared to portable alternatives. Key benefits include decoupled latent energy removal from heat pump operations, optional fresh air intake capabilities, advanced filtration, and digital controls. Travis emphasizes the importance of maintaining optimal indoor humidity levels between 35-50% for occupant health and structural integrity, particularly in moisture-sensitive construction like SIPS buildings. This professional-grade solution delivers efficient, comprehensive humidity control for enhanced comfort and building durability. Watch all episodes of the Prairie, Sun and Timber series at:
