ᐅ Is humidity in new buildings a health risk?

My home office was relocated to a newly built house that has been constructed over the past few months and apparently is still not dried out at all. There is underfloor heating installed. When I enter the room on Monday mornings, the humidity level is over 90%. I then open the windows and doors for 10 minutes. I can’t keep them open longer because it simply gets too cold for me. Opening the windows on tilt doesn’t help. Should I be concerned about my health with such high humidity?

It is 90% in the morning—especially on Mondays—if the windows have not been ventilated all weekend. As mentioned, it is a new build constructed between April and October and occupied immediately after the painting work was completed.

And why exactly don’t you ventilate on the weekend?

Probably because it is an office building and nobody works there on weekends?

UPS ... I didn't remember my first post anymore.
