When you hear the term "home energy audit" or "energy assessment," it makes sense to assume that the main focus of this service will be the building’s energy performance.
But a comprehensive energy audit should also focus on other aspects of Building Science, like indoor air quality and building durability. This is where dehumidification can be important.

Basements and crawl spaces are below-grade areas where high humidity levels can cause numerous problems. Moisture that saturates "fluffy" insulation like cellulose or fiberglass batts will dramatically diminish the insulation’s R-value and adversely affect energy efficiency. Moisture also helps to promote the growth of mold on organic materials like wood, paper and even some types of paint. Mold spreads by means of airborne spores. These microscopic organisms pose a serious health hazard. Musty odors and mold stains are telltale signs of excess moisture that is promoting mold growth.
Excess moisture can shorten the life of building components. Screws, sheet metal and other steel elements rust and deteriorate, while wood can succumb to rot, threatening the structural integrity of a building. Termites, powder post beetles, and other pests love wood with high moisture content.
