In order to reduce the possibility of spores reproducing, relative humidity indoors should be kept at or near 60%. In order to accomplish this, all residential students should:

• Keep thermostat fan setting on “AUTO”
• Keep all wet clothing in a plastic bag or plastic covered bin to keep moisture contained.
• Your best bet is keep up on your laundry.
• Wet shoes/hats should be dried before they are put away.
• Do not attempt to control temperature by blocking the air supply or opening windows!
• Dry all personal belongings within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.
• Keep the bathroom door closed at all times. The ventilation system in the bathroom is designed to take moisture out and keep it out of the bedrooms. Leaving the door open will allow moisture into the room.
• Keep thermostat set at or near 72 degrees. It is optimal to keep the system running, but if it is too cold, relative humidity will rise and condensation may form.
• Keep wet towels in the bathroom to dry them and keep moisture from migrating into the bedroom.
• In warmer temperatures, keep the windows closed. Open windows allow moisture levels to rise, condensation to form and mold to grow in your room.
