	OSH Answers: Humidex Rating and Work
		Humidex is used as a measure of perceived heat that results from the combined effect of excessive humidity and high temperature.
		Generally speaking, no. Humidex is intended for the general public to express the combined effects of warm temperatures and humidity.
		An air temperature of 26°C at 50% relative humidity corresponds to a humidex of 29.

	Beating the heat: development and evaluation of a Canadian hot weather health-response plan. (Articles). - ...
		On the 2 days when the humidex exceeded 45 [degrees] C, excess deaths of 10.6 (total) and 13.8 ([greater than or equal to] 65) were noted for the 1990 occurrence and of 12.6 (total) and 7.8 ([greater than or equal to] 65) for the 1995 occurrence.
		The estimated values from both the humidex and AT categoric mean mortality rates are higher than the actual mean number of all ages (6,184) and elderly (4,628) deaths for the 1980-1996 study period because the estimated deaths reflect larger 1996 populations.
		Humidex levels of 30-34.9 [degrees] C in a hot summer would result in 25 excess deaths, and those of 35-39.9 [degrees] C would lead to an estimated 26 excess deaths.

	Humidity and Humidex
		Humidex is also limited as an overall hot-weather comfort index because it does not consider other factors such as pressure, wind speed, precipitation, sunshine or pollen.
		Humidex values of 45° C or more are rarely observed in Canada.
		The highest humidex observed in Canada over the last 40 years occurred at Windsor, that of 52.1° C on 20 June 1953.

	Humidity Control Systems - How it works
		When a HUMIDEX unit is installed and operating in the basement, the moist and stale air is drawn to the unit by a quiet and powerful fan and then expelled to the outside of the house through the funnel system..
		After the Humidex is operational, the air downstairs with the greater amount of water is expelled outside; the warmer and drier air from upstairs flows down, raising the temperature, and lowers the relative humidity, and lowers the condensation.
		All Humidex units are controlled by an adjustable dehumidistat, and will automatically go to a lower speed, once it reaches the desired level of humidity; using a minimal amount of electricity.

		When a Humidex system is installed and operating, this stagnant, damp, contaminated air is drawn to the bottom vents of the unit by a powerful, yet quiet, ventilation fan.
		This is the distinct uniqueness and effectiveness of Humidex, in that it is directing the effort to the source of the problem and where it persists.
		Humidex technology is designed to expel moist air in its entirety and not to separate the water molecules from the air.

	Humidex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Humidex solves the century old problem of excess moisture by utilizing a controlled and target specific ventilation as opposed to a conventional dehumidifier which removes moisture particles from the air by condensation and then recirculates the same stale air back into the room.
		Humidex focuses in on the major source of moisture problems which is the lowest point in a house where there is the most moisture infiltration, stagnation and condensation; namely the basement and crawl space.
		The actual total living area benefiting from the Humidex is greater, as a result of the air replenished and exchanged throughout the house with fresh air from outside.

		A test of the Humidex humidity control and ventilation system was conducted by GeoTek in a home in Crooks, South Dakota with visible molds, musty odors and a damp environment in the basement.
		The following observations were made after the Humidex unit was operating for three months in the summer of 2002 in a period of high outdoor humidity levels and high outdoor mold spores.
		Several weeks after the Humidex installation, the relative humidity levels were substantially decreased and brought into a normal range (55% to 61% from the crawl area to upstairs).

		This is because the wind chill and the humidex are indices and not physical quantities.
		The humidex is an index (a computed value as opposed to something measured) devised to describe how hot or humid weather feels to the average person.
		A humidex of 40 with, for example, a temperature of 30 degrees means that the sensation of heat when it is 30 degrees and the air is humid is more or less the same as when it is 40 degrees and the air is dry.

	formula, Meteorological - Humidex
		The humidex is a measurement used by Canadian meteorologists to reflect the combined effect of heat and humidity.
		If the temperature remains 30 and the dew point rises to 25Â°C (77F), the humidex hits 41Â°C. The humidex tends to be higher than the U.S. heat index at equal temperature and relative humidity.
		The record humidex in Canada occurred on June 20, 1953, when Windsor, Ontario hit 52.1Â°C. (The residents of Windsor would not have known this at the time, since the humidex had yet to be invented.) More recently, the humidex reached 50Â°C on July 14, 1995 in both Windsor and Toronto.

		This is the Canadian formula but there are variations of humidex throughout the world, of both the exact formulae and of interpretation of the results.
		Despite its brevity limitations, the humidex remains a useful, and very popular due to the simplicity, means of determining how hot it actually feels outside.

	Humidex - Heat Stress Index
		When the combination of temperature and humidity is very high, we are actually at more risk from heat illness such as heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
		In 1965, Canadian meteorologists devised a scale called the Humidex that attempts to take both heat and humidity into account to give us a single value that we can use to help guide our actions on hot and humid days.
		Most locations in Canada do not experience extreme Humidex values, but it is possible that any given location could reach temperatures where great caution is advised.
