Do you know what can happen to your building when you have high humidity levels? You might be surprised to learn you run the risk of many of the same problems that arise from water leaks in a building! Humidity-related issues in commercial buildings include: -Mold and mildew growth -Respiratory problems -Poor air quality -Mechanical failures -Airborne diseases Check out this article to learn about humidity sensors and how they can prevent these kinds of issues from starting in your commercial building.

Imagine your building whispering secrets about its health. That's the power of predictive maintenance, a game-changer for busy buildings. Forget scrambling to fix breakdowns that halt work and drain your budget. Sensors embedded in key systems like air conditioning quietly monitor performance. Advanced data analysis turns this information into warnings about potential issues. A slight temperature change in your AC? Predictive maintenance catches it early, allowing for a quick fix before it spirals into a major problem. This isn't just about saving money. Predictive maintenance gives building managers peace of mind. Knowing your building is constantly checked lets you focus on what matters, confident everything is running smoothly. Plus, it can help you use less energy, saving both cash and the environment. The future of building operations is smart and proactive. Embrace it with predictive maintenance. Transform your building into a self-aware space, ensuring smooth operation and cost-effective maintenance for years to come. #PredictiveMaintenance #FutureofBuildings #SmartBuildings #BuildingOperations #FacilityManagement #FixItBeforeItBreaks #BuildingEfficiency #BuildingSustainability #builtenvironment #riskmanagement #facilitiesmanagement #facilitymanager #buildingmanagement #buildingautomations #ductcleaning #kitchenhoods #pressurewash #federalcontracting #wosb

The inability of a home to maintain a comfortable temperature can be attributed to various factors. One possible reason for this issue is an aging HVAC system. If your home is experiencing difficulties in maintaining a consistent temperature and your system is between 10-15 years old, it would be advisable to consider exploring replacement options.

25th April 2024 LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION | POOR DESIGN CAN LEAD TO INEFFECIENCY OF LEV 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘!! ✒ A poorly designed local exhaust ventilation (LEV) system can lead to ineffective capture and containment of airborne contaminants, potentially exposing workers to health hazards. 𝐈𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 are common issue associated with poor LEV design. ✒ The hood may be improperly sized, shaped, or positioned relative to the contaminant source, resulting in incomplete capture of airborne pollutants. This can lead to escape of contaminants into the workplace air and increased worker exposure.

Now that we are very much into the southern hemisphere winter, temperatures are noticeably lower. This understandably gives rise to the temptation to switch off your HVAC system, or to reduce its running hours, and thereby save money on your energy bills. Before you reach for the off switch, it’s worth remembering that your HVAC is not only about reducing ambient temperatures. It also circulates the air – thereby improving its quality and reducing the health risks associated with pollution and allergens. Your HVAC also cuts humidity levels, making the interior of your premises feel more comfortable. However, it’s worth remembering that running your HVAC during periods extremely low temperatures (which are admittedly rare in most parts of South Africa) can cause damage.
