Grow rooms are a prominent example of the potential and the challenges of indoor agriculture.

Humidity control makes up an important facet of indoor air quality, a facet that includes reducing airborne viruses but extends far beyond it.

It has now been two years since the pandemic brought IAQ to the forefront of everyone’s minds. Manufacturers are stepping up with an array of products to clean and monitor the air people breathe.

Homeowners are increasingly paying attention to improving their indoor air quality, and dehumidification is a big part of the IAQ equation.

Whether it be a single-family household, school, or even a grocery store, all of those spaces need clean, high-quality air — which humidification plays a role in.

Comfortable, clean air. That’s what end users on both the residential and commercial sides are looking for in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Proper indoor RH — generally between 35% and 60%, with the range leaving wiggle room for personal preferences and outdoor conditions — is vital in maintaining IAQ, the health and well-being of a home’s occupants, and the condition of its furnishings.

Between health benefits, energy savings, and overall improved air quality, whole-home humidification systems are an easy sell for contractors.

For contractors in humid climates, a lot of the comfort they provide is through being able to control humidity levels, which can be aided by adding a secondary dehumidification system.

The manufacturers of HVAC products for indoor farming say their equipment can help optimize growers’ crop yields.

The combination of direct sun beating down on a home and lack of adequate ventilation can significantly raise the temperatures in a home’s attic, which can then transfer to the rest of the house.

The Markham District Energy facility differs from standard applications because instead of relying on conventional energy sources, it captures waste heat from sewage, which enters at about 5°C and is converted into 95°C usable heat.

Companies are seeking more sustainable solutions for their facilities. In some cases, this change is driven by both philosophical and financial reasons.

When it began “raining” inside the Towson Court House, a leaky roof was assumed to be the culprit. But for the Maryland Department of General Services, the truth turned out to be much stranger.

As one of the larger contributors to a facility’s expenses, it is critical to incorporate preventative measures into regular maintenance and cleaning plans for boilers.
