During winter weather, concerns about the air quality inside commercial and industrial buildings is higher than at any other time of the year—especially in a place like Toronto, where the temperatures stay below freezing for most of the season. Fresh air circulation in a building simply doesn’t happen during cold weather when an indoor facility must be sealed off from the outside, so matter the type of facility.
The lack of fresh air ventilation not only leads to a buildup of indoor contaminants and imbalanced humidity, it can also cause negative air pressure inside a building—too much air exhaust, not enough air brought in. This is where the make-up air unit can be invaluable. If you aren’t aware of make-up air units and their use, we’d like to show you what they may be able to do for you.
The official start of winter doesn’t arrive until later in the month—but the Toronto winter never obey specific dates. But by the last month of the year, the cold weather has already settled in, with below-freezing temperatures as the norm.
