Compliance with Regulations Vital for Growth of North American Humidity Control Equipment Markets.PALO ALTO Palo Alto, city, California Palo Alto (păl`ō ăl`tō), city (1990 pop. 55,900), Santa Clara co., W Calif.; inc. 1894. Although primarily residential, Palo Alto has aerospace, electronics, and advanced research industries. , Calif. -- Lax enforcement of regulations specifying the levels of humidity to be maintained in occupied spaces is a major issue faced by the vendors as builders and consulting engineers tend to bypass these regulations and opt for less expensive equipment to avoid high installation costs. The key challenge lies in stringent enforcement of regulations and raising end-user awareness about the health benefits and long-term energy savings of humidity control equipment.

"Vendors are often selected on the basis of their reputation and standing in the market, as building engineers tend to favor familiar vendors," explain Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Sapan Agarwal. "This limits the growth of evolving technologies and new vendors." "Most end-users consider humidity control systems as a comfort commodity rather than a necessity for good health and opt for less expensive systems offered by newer participants," says Agarwal. This factor prevents price escalation among existing participants. However, the price sensitivity among end users is expected to decrease, as they are further educated on the benefits of humidity control.

Institute (ARI ARI Acute respiratory infection, see there ) are making limited efforts to supply potential end-users with more information on the advantages of humidity control," notes Agarwal. Nevertheless, a greater effort is expected to be made by governmental agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), independent agency of the U.S. government, with headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1970 to reduce and control air and water pollution, noise pollution, and radiation and to ensure the safe handling and (EPA EPA eicosapentaenoic acid.
