DGH Dorm Humidifier Score

The DGH Dorm Humidifier Score is a 0-10 composite (higher = better fit for a dorm bedroom: quiet enough to sleep beside, easy enough to clean that mold never grows, long enough runtime not to need daily refilling, and a footprint that shares 12×14 ft with a roommate) composite score. weighted composite (0-10): quiet_night_operation 30% + easy_clean_mold_resistance 30% + runtime_per_fill 20% + dorm_footprint 20%. quiet_night_operation scores sleep-mode dB (26 dB = 9.5, ≥40 dB = 5); easy_clean_mold_resistance credits top-fill with wide-mouth opening, dishwasher-safe tank, UV chamber, or evaporative mechanism that avoids aerosol biofilm; runtime_per_fill rewards ≥36H at medium output over sub-20H; dorm_footprint scores physical base area and top-fill refill convenience for a shared dorm bathroom sink.
