I just started my job about 2 months ago… I have learned a lot of unusual things, however most crucially I’ve learned what to do plus what not to do in our building, then for example with our office temperature control, there a lot of the coworkers who are particularly stringent on when people change the temperature on the temperature control! The reason for this is that the building gets particularly humid especially in the summertime! Now since we’re getting into somewhat warmer weather, the building gets particularly humid.
The building is about 100 years aged plus I can tell that the humidity particularly impacts our productivity, but people sometimes get lazy plus don’t want to work, people compare plus complain about their hair frizzing… And worse, sometimes there is condensation that collects on the windows plus recently we’ve had water harm plus some slight organic growth on our walls.
All of the floors in our building are wood floors plus the walls are greatly impacted by the unusual temperatures plus humidity levels. I’ve read that at least three pints of water can hold in a cubic foot of wood flooring that’s at 60% of humidity. A lot of humidity can impact building joists, studs plus finishes on walls. This can cause cracks plus long-term harm. I believe that within the next year there is going to have to be some extreme renovations done in our building due to all of the humidity that my fine friend and I have. To combat this issue, our boss has installed many dehumidifiers to help with the humidity. Personally I do not recognize the dehumidifiers are enough, I recognize our boss should reach out to a local heating plus cooling business to see if there is anything more that my fine friend and I can do to minimize the humidity.
