If system performance data reaches a dangerous level, condition-based monitoring alerts technicians to proactively correct the problem in time to prevent further damage.

With a robust array of design options, designers are often tasked with the challenge of deciding which dehumidification methods best suit their projects’ needs.

As buildings have become tighter with improved building envelope systems and inoperable windows to minimize energy use, IAQ and IEQ have become primary considerations for professional engineers and architects.

If a building is damaged or becomes uninhabitable due to an event, the cost in either repairs or lost revenue can dwarf the initial investment in a more resilient design.

While the appeal of profits and fear of lawyers are powerful emotions, doing the right thing to protect human health in all occupied buildings must take precedence.
