Helping You Breathe Easy
Whole-Home Humidifiers & Dehumidifiers
Optimal humidity levels in a building (typically between 30% to 50% relative humidity) is essential for creating a comfortable, healthy, and sustainable indoor environment. Whole-building humidifiers and dehumidifiers are practical and effective solutions for managing humidity levels in commercial buildings. These systems are designed to manage the moisture content in the air across larger spaces such as office buildings, warehouses, retail stores, and other commercial facilities. They can also reduce wear on your other HVAC systems, reducing the potential need for commercial AC repair, commercial heating repair, and more. The team at Aire Serv is prepared to improve the indoor air quality of your workspace with whole-building humidifiers and dehumidifiers to ensure your employees and customers can always breathe easy!
Important of Humidity Control
Maintaining balanced humidity levels in a commercial building contributes to the comfort, health, productivity, and longevity of both the building and its occupants:
Comfort of Occupants: Maintaining appropriate humidity levels ensures that the indoor environment is comfortable for the occupants. High humidity can make people feel sticky and uncomfortable, while low humidity can lead to dryness and discomfort.
Health and Productivity: Proper humidity control can contribute to a healthier indoor environment. Excess humidity can promote mold growth and dust mites, which can exacerbate allergies and respiratory issues. Dry air can cause irritation to the respiratory tract and skin.
Equipment and Infrastructure: High humidity levels can damage equipment and infrastructure in a commercial building. For example, excess moisture can corrode electronics and damage sensitive equipment. Conversely, very dry conditions can lead to static electricity buildup, which can be harmful to electronic components.
Energy Efficiency: Humidity control can impact energy efficiency. In humid conditions, air conditioning systems must work harder to cool and dehumidify the air. Conversely, in dry conditions, humidification may be required to maintain comfort levels, which also consumes energy.
Preservation of Materials: Maintaining proper humidity levels is important for preserving materials such as wood, paper, and textiles. Excessive humidity can cause these materials to warp, swell, or deteriorate, while low humidity can cause them to become brittle and prone to damage.
