[TRNSYS-users] how to control HVAC ?

   I am not aware of such an example or tutorial. However, the principal 
is the same as for controlling temperature. Define a humidistat that 
watches the zone RH or humidity ratio then pass the humidistat's outputs 
to appropriate humidification/dehumidification equipment that acts on 
the air stream that is introduced into the zone.

kind regards,

  David
