Case Study Guides

Case studies show how building science plays out in real homes and buildings. Each one lays out the original problem, what was measured, what changed and what the results looked like afterward, so you can compare the situation to your own Austin home.

Start with Zilkr on the Park Condo Case Study: Fixing High Humidity, an Austin condo where an older single-stage system couldn't control humidity. Then read U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Case Study, which reviews a government study of the dry fog process used by Pure Maintenance of Central Texas, our sister company.

For background on the variable-capacity equipment in the Zilkr example, our air conditioning services page explains how different cooling systems handle humidity.
