IEQ: Is Your Building Safe?

IEQ, or indoor environmental air quality, is taking on increasing importance. In the past, issues related to IEQ flew under the radar – issues like Sick Building Syndrome. But today, IEQ is at the forefront of daily concerns due to a rise in climate-related issues such as fires, and most recently, the coronavirus.

Some businesses and organizations like to think this problem is easily solved with the addition of an air purifier or upgraded AC filter. But knowledgeable HVAC commercial contractors know IEQ and the way it relates to the health of building occupants involves more than air quality. A comprehensive IEQ plan includes temperature, sound, lighting, and many other factors.

How Can You Improve the IEQ in Your Building?

• Schedule a Professional Assessment to ID Invisible Threats

While leaks and physical damage are easy to see, environmental issues like indoor air quality noise pollution are not. Fortunately, skilled commercial HVAC mechanical services contractors can help you uncover hidden issues, offering potential solutions such as:

• • Improving building exhaust systems to remove harmful contaminants from workrooms, kitchens, and restrooms
  • Introducing fresh air with the help of mechanical ventilation
  • Upgrading filtration with a HEPA style air filter, air purifier, or air scrubber to remove airborne viruses, bacteria, mold, and other contaminants
  • Adding humidification/dehumidification technology to control humidity levels that can impact comfort and health

These assessments also offer the added bonus of uncovering HVAC mechanical and safety issues, including inefficiencies in your HVAC system, reducing energy consumption and unexpected bills for commercial heating repairs.

• Follow Best Practices

Look to industry experts like the CDC and ASHRAE for guidelines on assessing and addressing the IEQ in your building.

• Avoid Fast Fixes & One-Size-Fits-All IEQ Solutions

Default settings, like those on a smartphone or computer, do not work for most. Fine-tuning is required to manage the unique needs of your building and workers. Managing IEQ is not a once-and-done, quickly managed situation, like commercial HVAC repair and service. Industry recommendations will change, as will your daily needs. Like weight loss, continual monitoring and tweaks are essential.

• Take a Proactive Approach to IEQ Challenges

Regularly assessing your IEQ needs and staying up to date on best practices give you a better chance to succeed against nature, microbes, and other contaminants. It shows your care about the well-being of occupants and protects you against health-related complaints and liability.

Desert Aire’s Dehumidifiers for Grow Rooms Are an Excellent Choice

Are you looking for an integrated solution to meet the temperature, humidity, and airflow control needs of your grow room? Eliminate the need to purchase separate air conditioning and dehumidification equipment with Desert Aire’s GrowAire solutions. We can design the perfect system for your unique setup. Learn why these systems are the solution of choice recommended by our commercial HVAC contractors.

Why You Need More than AC in Your Grow Room

To maintain optimal growing conditions in your grow room, you need more than simple temperature control. You also need equipment that accurately maintains not only moisture levels, but air movement to control humidity in an indoor grow room. This grand trifecta prevents the condensation of moisture on plants that can cause issues with mold, mildew, and fungus. These issues can significantly impact the health of your plants, limiting growth and affecting product quality, and impacting your revenue stream. Fortunately, with a proactive approach, you can avoid these climate control pitfalls, ensuring the perfect indoor growing climate.

Conventional air conditioners aren’t designed to control humidity with any accuracy. While you may be able to set your ideal room temperature, dehumidification remains a side effect of the cooling process – not its main purpose. Attempting to use your AC unit in this manner could lead to the need for frequent commercial heating and air conditioning repairs. While portable dehumidifiers may offer a bit of added help, this one-dimensional approach will never deliver the benefits of a fully integrated system offering precise environmental control.

Desert Aire’s Cutting-Edge Systems Provide Complete Climate Control

Desert Aire systems put control of the grow room environment at the touch of your fingers. In addition to temperature control, they allow you to precisely control discharge temperature. You can set your ideal dehumidification capacity and quickly respond to changes that can quickly occur in the indoor grow room environment. In addition, they can allow you to exhaust or intake outdoor air as needed to maintain the ideal setting for your plants.

High-quality, durable Desert Aire systems enable you to reliably create the predictable, stable grow room climate needed to achieve maximum yield while using energy efficiently. Which grow room dehumidification solution is best for your application?
