Right, but it does mean you just need to be in a somewhat sealed room to remove the humidity instead of constantly fighting the ever-warming walls/floors/ceiling. Of course you need to exchange CO2 and O2 to stay alive.

But the people in the room will create more humidity that you have to constantly remove again.

Humans burning calories to stay alive creates heat, and thermodynamics that you spend energy to remove it or see the temperature rise. Whether that heat is hot air or bound as humidity shouldn't make a large difference.
