Very interesting, thank you. I shall admit when it comes to HVAC or heating/cooling in general my 'expertise' is at high school physics course level as I never dealt with this on professional level. I was using relative humidity simply because I had such device at home recently while the last hygrometer capable of measuring dew point I saw > 30 years ago in high school .
Just trying to get it right and fill in a few blanks with info.
As usual, take what you want. Scrap the rest.
Seems like (Ontario) Canadian high school physics hasn't gone down the tubes yet. Hope it never does. Got lots of friends in, and respect for, the Great White North EHH ?!? Spent lots of time in TO.Comment

You can make a fairly accurate psychrometer using a bulb or even spring type, or electronic thermometer, some gauze and a fan. I've got a professional sling psychrometer given to me by one of my mentors. The made one using a 10K thermistor, and it's as accurate as the sling psychrometer after I fine tuned the thermistor with boiling H2O, an ice bath and my body temp.

Unfortunately is has gone down those tubes and is actually worse than US even if it's hard to imagine so. Locals say it was much better before, some 30 years ago. Nowadays teachers have union, go on strikes and in general not very concerned with outcome of their work. As one of their late 'reforms' I heard was decision to introduce 'sex' education in early grades up to the point parents went to public protests. Just because their current minister of education is lesbian. I'm not making this up: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/le...he-world-video Sorry if this confirms your pessimism about direction humanity going in lately. I gave up reading those news while ago and just realized the same person was elected Premier of Ontario in 2013. I just don't know what needs to happen for that place to come to senses .
Back to business.Comment
