Testing the Effect of Occupancy on Classroom RH

This graph shows relative humidity in classroom 004 during the morning hours of a day with known class meetings. The graphed period is from 08:01 to 12:07 on Tuesday, 20 February 2001. The occupancy status of the room is noted on the graph. The ET2 class comprised 14 students; the M&M class around 10 students. Each square on the graph represents a measurement point.

Question: Do you believe that classroom usage (occupants breathing and evaporating) increased RH? Note the scale of the graph. If the occupants affect RH, would they also affect temperature: if so, how would that affect relative humidity?
