Abstract

An apparatus (1) for dehumidifying a building (1), by electro-osmosis comprises a supply (5) of direct electrical voltage connected to a positive electrode (6) and to a negative electrode (7) to apply a predetermined voltage between said electrodes; the negative electrode (7) is electrically connected to the ground (8) underlying the building, whilst the positive electrode (6) is electrically connected to the building (2) at the level of the surface of the ground. Known apparatuses to sanitise a building by electro-osmosis entail greater problems and they are more invasive during installation, because they necessarily require the introduction of conductor into the wall; moreover, they are more costly and less effective, because their action does not involve the entire building but only the portion of wall included between the electrodes.
