sure. turn it on with a thermostat when the room temp reaches 80, and
turn on a window exhaust fan with a humidistat when the rh reaches 65%.
herbach and rademan (800) 848-8001 http://www.herbach.com sell a nice
$4.95 navy surplus humidistat, their item number tm89hvc5203, with a
20-80% range, a 3-6% differential, and a 7.5a 125v switch that can be
wired to open or close on humidity rise.
