Heating is necessary in winter so

as to compensate heat loss from
room.
Pre heating of incoming air may be
done by passing over air furnaces
or coils through which hot water is
circulated.

Humidification or addition of
water is necessary in winter
when air because of low temp
has less humidity.
Incoming air is passed through
pans of water or wet cloth strips

In this process certain amount of

water is extracted from air.
This is done in summer where
incoming air is cooled.
