GBlist: Relative Humidity

There are a variety of parameters to control ventilation: CFM per person,
Air Changes, CO2, and RH. If you had to pick one, which one would you pick
and why?

Based on the dust mite discussion, I wonder if controlling for RH might be
the healthiest control parameter, given that you stay within certain bounds
of minimum cfm per person and maximum cfm (energy efficiency). A range of
RH levels would allow the occupant to adjust to different health needs at
different times.
