Humidification Systems for Buildings

Humidity Control for Buildings & Offices

‘Create a comfortable, efficient climate with air humidification’

Sealpump, along with partner, Merlin Technology GmbH not only provide humidification solutions for the benefit of industrial products, but also to benefit the climate, environment and efficiency of all buildings. Our high pressure water systems create the ideal environment to work in, spend time in and visit, with both humidification and adiabatic cooling solutions.

Air humidification and building services engineering such as building designers, renovators, and the HVAC industry, go hand in hand when looking to improve a buildings performance. All buildings can benefit from integrating our humidification and adiabatic cooling systems, by creating a better environment for people to work and spend time in and by all also greatly improving efficient and reducing the buildings running costs.

Maintaining the correct humidity levels can therefore eradicate these issues and reduce sick leave and increase productivity. The right climate can also lead to longer stays for customers and guests.

For buildings where valuable items or objects are present, such as museums or universities, creating conditions with optimum humidity levels not only benefits the people but the objects themselves, maintain the objects integrity and condition.

Our systems for both direct room humidification and humidification within air handling units (AHUs) can be both integrated into new building design or renovation projects, as well as easily retrofitted into existing rooms or AHUs. Whether installed in AHUs or directly into a room, our high pressure water humidification systems can offer up to a 95% running cost saving when compared to traditional steam generation humidity control systems. Added to to the low maintenance of our systems and the accurate control, this makes our humidification and cooling systems an even more attractive option when looking at improving building efficiency.

Whatever the building layout, we have a suitable humidification and cooling solution which can be installed without disruption.

To aid with accurate monitoring our user friendly control layout can be integrated into a number of building management systems. This enables building managers and maintenance teams to be able to monitor the buildings condition and performance from their main building management system easily.

When do you know humidity is too low in your building?
  • Static electricity is created
  • People suffer from dry eyes and dry skin
  • People are dehydrated
  • Coughs and colds are easily caught
  • People feel tired and lethargic, especially after a few hours

Building Humidification FAQs

A building humidification system is a system designed to maintain and control the indoor humidity levels within commercial, industrial, or residential buildings to ensure comfort, protect materials, and maintain healthy air quality.

Proper humidification prevents health issues like dry skin and respiratory irritation, reduces static electricity, and protects building materials, furniture, and equipment from damage due to overly dry air.

Common types include steam humidifiers, evaporative humidifiers, ultrasonic humidifiers, and high-pressure misting systems. The choice depends on building size, application, and energy efficiency requirements.

    Steam humidifiers generate steam either through electricity or gas and distribute it into the air ducts or directly into the building space to maintain the desired humidity levels.

      Evaporative systems use water-soaked media and airflow to add moisture. They are energy efficient, low maintenance, and suitable for many commercial applications.

      Evaporative models rely on wicks or pads combined with air circulation to naturally evaporate water, whereas steam units heat water to its boiling point to generate vapor, providing greater accuracy in humidity management.

      Yes. Proper humidity levels reduce airborne dust, allergens, and the survival of viruses, leading to healthier indoor environments.

      Generally, 40–60% relative humidity is considered optimal for occupant comfort, health, and preservation of building materials.

      Operating costs vary by system type and energy source. Evaporative and ultrasonic systems are typically more energy efficient, while steam systems may have higher energy consumption.

      Yes. Maintenance includes cleaning water tanks, replacing filters or media, inspecting controls, and checking for scale buildup to ensure efficient operation and hygiene.

      Yes. Most modern humidification systems can be seamlessly integrated with existing HVAC systems to provide building-wide humidity control.

      Signs include dry skin, static shocks, warping wood, cracking furniture, or complaints from occupants about discomfort. A humidity assessment can confirm the need.

      Industries such as healthcare, data centers, printing, museums, textiles, and food production often rely on humidification to protect products, equipment, and occupants.

      Yes. Proper humidity makes air feel warmer, which can reduce the need for excessive heating and lower energy bills.

      Yes. Excessive humidity can cause mold growth, condensation, structural damage, and health issues. Proper system sizing and control are critical.

      Factors include building size, existing HVAC setup, water quality, energy efficiency goals, and specific application needs. A professional assessment is recommended.
