Warehouses
Warehouses and distribution centres are hard to keep comfortable. High roofs, large doors that stay open all day and metal roofing that soaks up the sun all push indoor temperatures up, especially through an Indian summer.
The problem with high ceilings
Warm air rises and collects under the roof. In a tall building there can be a large temperature difference between floor and ceiling. In cooled spaces, the conditioned air coming out of high-level outlets runs into that hot layer, and the system works much harder than it needs to while the floor still feels warm.
Mixing the air
Destratification, simply mixing the air so hot and cool layers do not separate, is one of the cheapest ways to improve conditions. Large, slow-moving fans do this well and often cut energy use at the same time.
What we provide
- Air washers and evaporative cooling for large open floors
- Roof and wall extraction to push out hot air
- Destratification fans
- Spot cooling for packing lines, loading bays and workstations
- Temperature and humidity control for stores holding sensitive goods
- Dust control where goods or processes generate it
We look at how the building is actually used, where people work and what is stored, before recommending anything, so the money goes where it makes the most difference.
