Why makeup air is essential for ventilation performance, comfort, and pressure balance. Every exhaust fan installed in a warehouse removes air from the building. Unless that air is intentionally replaced, the facility can become negatively pressurized. Negative pressure often reveals itself in unexpected ways. Exterior doors become difficult to open or close, drafts appear around
Protecting the Perimeter – Air Curtains & Loading Docks
How air curtains help reduce heat loss, humidity infiltration, dust, insects, and outdoor air entering through frequently opened warehouse doors. Even a well-designed ventilation system can struggle when warehouse doors are opened repeatedly throughout the day. Loading docks, receiving areas, shipping bays, and forklift entrances can allow large amounts of outside air to enter the
Out with the Bad Air: Exhaust Ventilation Strategies
How roof ventilators, wall exhaust fans, and panel fans remove the contaminants that air mixing alone cannot. Air mixing helps equalize temperatures throughout a warehouse, but it does not remove heat, humidity, dust, fumes, or stale air from the building. Once warm air, moisture, or airborne contaminants have been circulated, they must be exhausted outdoors.
Beat the Heat & Stratification
Why destratification is the first step toward a more comfortable and energy-efficient warehouse. Are you aware that a building’s temperature increases, on average, between 0.5 and 1 degree F for every elevated foot that heat rises? On a 20-foot ceiling, there can be a 10 to 20 degree variance in temperature from the floor to
