Abstract
A system and related method are disclosed for controlling condensation in a space. The system includes a fan and a sensor for sensing an environmental condition, such as temperature, humidity, or both. For instance, the sensors may sense an air temperature that is used to estimate or predict a surface temperature of an object within the room. The system also includes a controller capable of receiving controlling the fan based on the surface temperature. The system may additionally include a heater and/or a damper for transferring outside air into the space, either of which may be controlled by the controller based on the measurements.

A system for controlling the circulation of air in an indoor area of a structure including an object within the structure, comprising:
- a fan for circulating the air within the indoor area, said fan spaced apart from the object;
- and
- a controller for predicting a temperature of the object and controlling the operation of the fan based on the temperature.
A method of preventing the formation of condensation on a surface of an object in an indoor area, comprising:
- predicting a temperature of the object;
- and
- circulating air in the indoor area based on the predicted temperature.
