[TRNSYS-users] humidification and dehumidification setpoints

[Marijke Steeman]

Dear Trnsys-users,

I am trying to model a multizone building with a humidification and dehumidification system which 
has setpoints respectively at 40% and 60% relative humidity. 
This is done by adding humidification and dehumidification to the heating and cooling type respectively
in the building model. However, I have the problem that e.g. if the cooling is off, the dehumidification
is also not working, and thus the relative humidity exceeds 60%.

My question is thus, Is it possible to add dehumidification without cooling or humidification without 
heating in the building model, or are both always coupled? Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot for your help.
Best regards,
