A large part of disaster recovery efforts involves temperature control. This is particularly true when it comes to controlling mold growth, creating the ideal environment, and promoting worker health and comfort. Disaster recovery equipment often contains evaporator coils that dry and condition the air by drawing out moisture and heat.

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.

Much attention goes to the proper storage environment for raw foods, such as meat and vegetables. Baking ingredients have a shelf life, too, as well as the potential to spoil and not work as effectively when storage conditions are not ideal. By practicing proper humidity control for baked goods and following storage recommendations, you’ll maximize the shelf life of ingredients, reduce waste and ensure the quality of manufactured products.

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.
