Room Open At what rate does a room with an open window change humidity?
If you have a room with a closed door and one window open.
If it is 60% humidity in the room and 20% humidity outside. How long would it take to get the room down to 25% humidity?
How much moisture do screens block?
It depends mainly on how quickly air moves from outside to inside and vice versa.
You can speed things up by putting a fan by the open window that blows outside air into the room. Make sure that the fan is on one side of the window and that the other side is unblocked. The fan will blow air from the outside into the room, and air will leave the room from the other side of the window. This will bring low-humidity air from the outside into the room, and push high-humidity air outside. Depending on the size and power of the fan, the window size, the room size, and other variables, after a certain period of time all the air in the room will have been replaced, and the humidity inside will be the same as the humidity outside.
Screens that are airtight block all moisture. If air can pass through, however, so can humidity, so a screen that allows air to pass won't block any moisture at all (except perhaps liquid moisture, but humidity is always in the form of water vapor, not liquid).
If you really need to get rid of a lot of humidity, the only practical solution is air conditioning. Air conditioning cools the air using very cold evaporator coils, and humidity condenses on these coils, which removes humidity from the cooled air very effectively. In fact, some A/Cs have a special setting that specifically removes humidity. They use a fair amount of electricity (about the same as electric heaters in winter), but they are very efficient at getting rid of humidity.

After the death of his beloved wife, Helen (Lynne Moody), wealthy African-American suburbanite William Campbell (James Earl Jones) finds that Helen has left behind a "living will" in the form of a videotape. As William watches the video, his late wife urges him to take his huge personal library down to the tough inner-city neighborhood and to establish a reading room. Though confused by this request, William does exactly that, only to find that none of his new neighbors seem inclined to read -- not until he posts a sign reading FREE SODA. Ever so slowly, a few "regulars" trickle into the reading room, among them an idealistic young special-ed teacher (Joanna Cassidy), a high-schooler (Keith Robinson) studying for his SATS, and a little girl (Gabby Soleil) who hopes to get her mother to learn to read. For the most part, however, William's little sanctuary is the target of break-ins and the hangout for local gang members, and with this in mind it isn't surprising that several people encourage him to pack up and get out -- none more adamantly than the Reverend Rashid Rahim (played by George Stanford Brown, the film's director), a self-appointed urban activist who perceives in William a threat to his supremacy. Eventually, whether or not William stays or goes boils down to his attempt at "redeeming" a youthful thief named Javier (Douglas Spain) -- and it is at this point in the narrative that William finally understands why Helen wanted him to open up the reading room in the first place.

Home Theater: Choosing and Preparing Your Home Theater Room
So you've finally decided to venture into the exciting world of home theater? Well one of the first steps in getting started is deciding on a room for your new system and preparing it for the optimal home theater experience. Preparing your room can be an expensive and time-consuming endeavor and for those interested in an ultra high-end system, this can even include building an entirely new room altogether. However this doesn't have to be the case and is overkill for most of us. Instead, here are a few simple tips for taking an existing room or unused area of your house and tweaking it a bit so you can get the best home theater experience for you and your family.
Whether you're converting an existing area like a basement or you're using your current family room for your new setup, you'll probably have to do some sort of room preparation before setting up your home theater. For those with a big budget, this could include custom equipment for automation, new material for the walls and ceilings and other structural changes. But for the "Regular Joe", you can take a simpler approach and follow a few guidelines to improve the audio and video experience you'll have while enjoying your new system.
Windows and home theater lighting
Obviously too many windows could cause lighting problems, especially if you're using a projector as opposed to a television. Either way, try to avoid having your video display situated opposite a window. This will help to reduce or eliminate glare. Also, opaque drapes can work wonders for keeping excess light from entering the room.
Open floor plans affect sound quality
When choosing a room, it will ideally have as few entrances as possible...for instance, a room with a single window and door (or windows on just one wall). Preferably the room will have level ceilings that are relatively low also (as opposed to an open ceiling that's level but extends up to the second floor or a vaulted ceiling). Those high ceilings are great for giving you a sense of openness in the room, but the extra space also keeps the sound from your new system from being confined in a tighter area. This effectively disperses the sounds and might require a more powerful system to compensate for that effect. Then again, it may not be an issue at all if you are satisfied with the sound, so take this as a general rule and something to be aware of, but let your ears be the judge.
Smooth floors or carpet—Which is best for your new room?
If you're converting a basement, be sure to cover the floors, preferably with carpet. Smooth surfaces, like the concrete that might be in your basement, act as reflectors when sound waves hit them. Keep this in mind if you're converting an existing room also, especially if that room has hardwood or tile floors, which have similar reflective properties. Too much reflection can degrade your home theater's sound quality or possibly cause an echo.
By following these simple guidelines, you'll be able to improve the audio and video experience from your new home theater room. And remember, in the end, it's not the name brand of the equipment or how many bells and whistles they have that matters. The true test is how enjoyable your new system is for you and your family.
