Store in-use LPs at a temperature of 65 to 70 °F (18 to 21 °C). Those in long-term storage should be kept at 45 to 50 °F (7 to 10 °C). Though relative humidity (RH) is considered less an issue for vinyl than other recorded media, [14] it is recommended that LPs be stored at 45–50% RH.
Instruments that rely on the flow of air and breath are also at risk, as "...fluctuations or sudden changes in temperature or humidity may cause irreversible structural damage, especially in a woodwind, (because of warm, wet breath) or in a stringed instrument or drum, where the vibrating element is under tension". [14] Recommendations include:
The representation is made on a temperature-relative humidity, instead of a standard psychrometric chart. The comfort zone in blue represents the 90% of acceptability, which means the conditions between -0.5 and +0.5 PMV, or PPD < 10%.
This moisture and humidity control technology is renewable without having to replace desiccant and is capable of reaching low humidity (20%RH or less) to ultra low humidity (5%RH or less) levels. Generally dry boxes with 5%RH or less is utilized in surface mount technology in order to comply with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033.
None of the survey respondents selected a temperature warmer than 76 degrees. In general, Energy Star recommends setting the temperature 4 degrees warmer when sleeping and 7 degrees warmer when ...
Coming in second was a temperature of 70 or 71 (25.57%). But don't go too low. You might think you can set your thermostat very low and compensate for it with extra blankets or by dressing in layers.
The Energy Department has tips on the most efficient temperature range for homes in the winter months.
Wood for instruments is typically used at 8% moisture content (which is in equilibrium with air at 45% relative humidity). This is drier than usually produced by kilns, which is 12% moisture content (65% relative humidity). If an instrument is kept at a humidity that is significantly lower than that at which it was built, it may crack.
