School districts across the country are often under financial pressure, and powering down unoccupied buildings during summer break is a logical way to save on energy costs. However, if important moisture control strategies aren’t implemented, powering down can end up costing the school much more – in dollars and, more importantly, in student health.

When it comes to the success of surface coating applications, there is a lot of warranted attention on cleaning and preparation. Just as important, however, are the conditions when curing surface coatings. During the curing process, substrates and coatings remain vulnerable to ambient conditions. By controlling the environment as a coating cures, you’ll ensure the success of the coating application, meet the project deadlines and prevent premature coating failures.

The environment inside a pharmacy and pharmaceutical storage areas must be optimal and constant to ensure the effectiveness of the medications within them. The implications of humidity for pharmaceutical are numerous as moisture causes de-sterilization, irreversible destabilization and oxidative degradation because the proteins found in many drugs are sensitive. In extreme cases, temperature fluctuations and humidity may result in harmful toxic degradation that isn’t easily detectable. Temporary climate control solutions are the best way to ensure the ideal environment for stored pharmaceuticals and maintain their safety and effectiveness for patients.

After a client experiences flooding or a water-related incident, the space or items undergoing recovery procedures may need specific environmental conditions. A collection of valuable linens that experienced water damage, for example, may need low relative humidity levels and temperatures to prevent mold growth. Environmental control equipment with remote monitoring allows disaster recovery specialists to see the real-time conditions in a space, as well as check on the state of the climate control equipment throughout the duration of the project.

Water is a constant presence in food and beverage operations, so it’s easy to overlook its broader impact. However, how it’s managed can influence both operational efficiency and overall costs. Inefficient use doesn’t just waste the resource itself; it also drives up energy consumption, since pumps, heaters, chillers, and CIP systems all rely on it to operate efficiently.
