A properly installed and located hygrostat should be used to monitor and control humidity levels automatically, or a well-informed and conscientious human operator must constantly check for correct humidity levels. A humidity below 50% can prevent water condensation on building materials. [1] A dehumidifier can be used to balance the humidity.
