Quick answer

Dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated and moisture begins to condense on surfaces.

Magnus formula from temperature and RH

Frequently asked questions

Why do ducts sweat?

Chilled supply duct in humid unconditioned space drops below dew point; vapour-sealed insulation fixes it.

Comfort dew point?

Below 55°F feels dry and pleasant; above 65°F feels muggy regardless of temperature.
