It's all relative (humidity). If it is 10 degrees out you can get 10 - 15
degrees warmer in the garage which will lower the relative humidity and reduce
condensation.
The real problem comes during the warm fronts of which St. Louis has plenty.
A cold spell will chill the concrete and when the warm front moves in with
it's higher humidity content the floor will get wet. Moving the attic air down
to the floor will warm the concrete and minimize condensation.
Works great.
