Relying on the house HVAC system during construction may seem practical, but it often leads to problems such as excessive wear, voided warranties, and potential health risks. These systems aren't built to handle construction dust or fluctuating site conditions, which can shorten their lifespan and reduce efficiency. Temporary climate control solutions offer a more cost-effective and protective option, ensuring the permanent system remains intact while keeping your project on schedule. This article highlights the benefits of using temporary equipment to safeguard your project and long-term HVAC performance.

We have conducted over 100,000 site visits and had countless conversations with clients about job site climate control.

Silverfish, small wingless insects, pose a significant threat to archived documents. These pests thrive in dark, damp environments and have a particular appetite for starchy materials, making paper, book bindings, and even photographs prime targets. As they feed, silverfish leave behind tiny holes, yellow stains, and shed scales, which can damage valuable historical records.

Mass timber has gained popularity as a building material praised for its sustainability and aesthetic appeal. It offers significant environmental benefits because of its reduced carbon footprint, and its biophilic design elements which bring a natural, warm aesthetic that can support cognitive performance, physical health and psychological well-being.

Document freeze-drying is a technique that professionals use to dry and restore books and documents that receive water damage. The process involves using a special chamber that has a high-pressure vacuum. When the chamber reaches the optimal temperature and pressure settings, the moisture in the documents sublimates. The sublimation process turns liquid water into a gaseous state. Freeze-drying eliminates moisture, prevents or halts mold growth, and avoids complications such as sticking, staining, warping, curling and over-drying. While freeze-drying is an effective solution, it is not the answer for all wet documents.
