PROPER VENTILATION Home ventilation is extremely important for managing indoor air quality and moisture. Follow these pointers for proper ventilation. Control Moisture Properly controlling moisture is essential. In the winter, use a moisture meter to track your levels and lower the setting on your humidifier(s) if it is too high. The suggested interior moisture level during Wisconsin winters is 30%–40%. Use Spot Ventilation To prevent potential mold, run the ventilation fan in the bathroom while showering or bathing, and let it run for another 20 minutes afterward. Use Your Range Hood While Cooking This will remove moisture-laden air and odors from your home right at their source. If your kitchen does not have a ventilation fan, open a window slightly to help ventilate.
