Abstract
This invention addresses the problem of Global Warming, expressed as the environmental condition of unintended and imperceptible levels of Vapor Pressure Deficit, (VPD) in Nursing Homes and Hospitals and Psychiatric Facilities. The invention teaches an art form which addresses Global Warming as expressed by Vapor Pressure deficit and resistance to medication. The invention identifies the ideal conditions for fungal and bacteria growth and in particular a new highly resistant fatal form of Candida Fungus, referred to as Candida auris (C. auris). Existing HVAC technology does not address this problem, since it is novel in that it identifies a unique interaction between Global Warming with the problem of resistances to medication and the neurological causes of Suicide. The invention is also novel and unobvious in that it teaches an art form indicating that certain levels of imperceptible VPD require continued HVAC, A/C dehumidification and temperature reduction even throughout tepid temperatures when such equipment may be turned off. As well as teaches an art form to alert medical staff and administration as to when these conditions are occurring and help plan treatments during period…
