One of the problems we come across during our inspections is Air Conditioning Dehumidification Problems: This is where the air conditioning system cools but does not dehumidify the room. The most common cause of inadequate dehumidification by an air conditioning system is the installation of a cooling unit, which has too much capacity, or is […]
Pollutants and Modern Building Materials
Many things contribute towards air conditioning systems being fit for purpose. Here we look at some of the obstacles with modern building materials that offer challenges for high quality indoor air. Over the past twenty years, there have been two trends in construction. These trends have put significant stresses on indoor environments. Firstly, buildings are […]

However, air conditioning is also a heavy user of energy resources and on a global scale The expense of keeping buildings temperature controlled has a profound effect on any organisation’s bottom line. It […]
Energy Efficient Air Conditioning
For building owners and those involved in new constructions, energy efficient air conditioning units are now the norm. The cost of electricity and the environmental impact of over consumption make energy efficient air conditioning a necessity rather than a luxury. Over consumption of electricity results in pollution and acid rain and uses natural resources and […]
