4 Benefits of Commercial Humidification Systems Control

When we think about a safer, more productive workday, it’s unlikely that a commercial humidification system comes to mind. While this may be the case, failing to implement this technology in your building can mean you are missing out on a whole host of benefits for your building, products, and employees. In this article, we explore just a few of the major benefits of commercial humidification systems.

Reduce Viruses & Bacteria 

Perhaps the most important benefit of commercial humidification is its ability to reduce the number of airborne particles. Many illnesses, including COVID-19, are quickly spread through these airborne particles and can travel through the air over great distances. 

Commercial humidification introduces moisture into the air, which causes these particles to drop to the floor quickly, reducing the potential for spread of viral or bacterial cells over large areas. 

Proper humidification can also ground mold spores and dust, keeping the building cleaner and more sanitary in general for the benefit of all who work in and visit your facility. 

Make Employees More Comfortable & Productive

Offices can help their employees become more productive through commercial humidification as well. Maintaining a proper level of moisture in the air can reduce or eliminate dry eyes, itchy skin, asthma symptoms, sore throats, and more. 

Extensive research conducted by the University of Oxford found that happy workers (i.e. more comfortable workers) are up to 13% more productive on a day-to-day basis than those who are not. Imagine what a 13% boost to productivity could do for the success of your business. While there are certainly other factors that contribute, a commercial humidification system is definitely a start to making your employees more comfortable and capable of working hard.

Increase the Life of Your Building

In addition to helping the people who work in your building, commercial humidification can also benefit the building itself. From floors and paint to furniture and electronics, the components of your building last longer when they are located in a properly humidified environment. Low humidity can cause wood to shrink, causing damage to furniture, flooring, and windowpanes. Electronics are also susceptible to low humidity, which brings us to our next benefit.

Prevent the Accumulation of Static Electricity 

Ideal for data centers, pharmaceutical companies, or any facility with highly sensitive equipment or environmental needs, commercial humidification is an absolute must have. The ideal humidity for a data center is between 40-60%, which can be difficult to keep consistent without proper monitoring and control equipment. By cutting down on the formulation of static electricity, humidifiers prevent damage to servers from electrostatic discharge. It can also help pharmaceutical companies produce high-quality, highly sensitive medications.
