humidity-controlled
I think you'll find that this is possibly slightly imprecise use of the term; AFAIK, VMC systems are not usually capable of in any way 'adjusting' humidity levels (since they are normally extract only)
I believe this is in fact a very common system whereby the VMC is switched on by a hygrostat that measures the humidity in (say) the bathroom, and switches on the ventilation only when it senses excess humidity.

Of course, you're right! I thought it was only the 'hydro-réglable' bit you were bothered about, but VMC = (mechanical) ventilation system

DVS
Talking to a NZ friend about a totally unrelated matter, the expression DVS for dehumidifying ventilation system was brought into the conversation. It appears to be a registered trade name, but might be worth looking into.

| Thanks B. Nobody's actually translated VMC yet. It's French you know, tho' we tend to forget. It wasn't my mate Nigel in Wangarei, was it? |
