This study utilizes building energy simulation software, to explore indoor humidity management in urban apartments. A novel approach is employed to generate moisture load profiles, calibrated against real-world data. Findings suggest that current TEK-17 airflow regulations may not adequately address varying apartment sizes and usage scenarios, potentially leading to suboptimal indoor relative humidity levels. This research advocates for a more nuanced ventilation strategy, emphasizing tailored solutions based on apartment characteristics. Such insights could inform future building codes, enhancing indoor air quality and energy efficiency in residential buildings in cold climates.
