Yes, that is what we are at - or would be at if our HVAC system actually did what it should be doing :)  Temp is good but humidity fluctuates wildly.  As I speak our humidity is at 70%.  Hot and humid here today.  50% would be ideal though.

Subject: [NHCOLL-L:5419] quick show of hands for wet collection temp/humidity levels

Hi all,

Can I get a quick show of hands for wet collections that follow Simmons' recs for temp and humidity levels? (65 deg F and 50% RH). If not, at what temp/RH is your collection stored?

Thanks,

Jess
