Gotcha, I guess my thought process was telling me that since there is no insulation that the inside environment would be affected by the conditions outside much more rapidly than if it were insulated. But I see you are saying if it's indoors and the conditions are not changing it wouldn't matter. So let me ask a newb question. If I had a tupperware or ammo box with a RH of 70% and I sealed it with no source of humidification it would remain at 70% forever as long as it sealed water tight? Not being a smart ass, just wanting to know how it works exactly, and I think it is still on topic.

I had read that when the temperature of air is cooled or reduced the RH increases, and it seems since temperature change would affect a space that is not insulated I would assume (What an evil word assume is) that the RH would be affected as well?
