When a healthcare facility is undergoing construction mold, microbes and other airborne particles can be introduced into the environment, but when a climate control solution is used, humidity is dramatically reduced, hindering the growth of construction-related mold, bacteria and other contaminants, according to an article on the MarketScale website.
Using the HVAC system to keep a construction site dry can be ineffective. Further, the additional power necessary to keep construction materials dry can overburden the equipment.
Specifically designed and optimized to prevent moisture-related issues at any construction site, temporary dehumidification systems typically use less energy than permanent HVAC equipment, helping to ensure these systems are not overtaxed and remain free of construction-related contaminants and dust.
During a hospital construction project, humidity control can help ensure fewer losses and setbacks during the construction process, leading to a more efficient and cost-effective workflow.
