Moisture control is the management of humidity and water vapor in enclosed spaces—buildings, storage containers, packaging.
The term appears in construction, HVAC systems, and product preservation contexts: The basement needed better moisture control to prevent mold.
Moisture control products include dehumidifiers, vapor barriers, and desiccant packets.
