You may notice on the nutritional labels of the foods you buy that the percent daily values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet -- 2,000 calories is a rough average of what people eat in a day. But your body might need more or less than 2,000. Height, weight, gender, age and activity level all affect your caloric needs.
How a dehumidifier works. Dehumidifiers work in one of two waysâby refrigeration (cooling air to remove moisture using similar technology to a refrigerator) or by absorption/adsorption (where moisture is absorbed into or adsorbed onto a drying material and then removed). We'll look at each of these in turn.
Run a dehumidifier in your wet basement. A dehumidifier will remove excess moisture from the air and help prevent high humidity levels and mold growth. Set your dehumidifier to run when your basement's humidity is over 60 percent. Mold growth can stop when your basement's overall humidity level drops below 60 percent.
