Churches and other cultural buildings

Our dehumidification technology makes it possible to reduce energy consumption. Airwatergreen currently has installations in over 350 churches. 

Energy efficient moisture management of sensitive buildings

  • Being able to maintain a low temperature in the building without risk of moisture-related damage
  • Easy installation without any alterations or ventilation pipes
  • Connected to building control system or working independently against set point
 

Airwatergreen dehumidification technology makes it possible to reduce energy consumption in buildings that are not in continuous use by reducing heating, without risking moisture damage and expensive restorations.

Without a dehumidifier:

  • Do you sometimes have to heat an already hot church in summer

  • Need to keep the church heated all year round to avoid moisture damage

Maintaining an acceptable relative humidity level in a building by only regulating the heating costs 5 times as much energy as using a dehumidifier, according to a study by Uppsala University, which can be read here.

A dry and cold building is an efficient and climate-smart building!

In 2018, Lund Diocese published a report with recommendations for indoor climate in churches.

Many buildings, such as churches, are often designed to be kept cold. Airwatergreen currently has installations in over 200 churches. This is where our product advantages come in handy;

  • Easy installation without drilling holes in facades
  • Low energy consumption
  • Equally effective at low temperatures
  • Possible connection to existing building management systems

Often a small dehumidifier model FLEX can handle the climate in a church building. We are happy to help you assess the moisture load and dimensioning for the best results!

Easy installation

Place the dehumidifier where you want it and set the desired humidity level. Connect to the electricity supply and drain the condensed water. Then it's just a matter of getting started. It couldn't be easier!

The water is removed through a hose to the nearest sewer or collected in a container specially designed for the purpose.

A special trolley with a built-in 40 liter tank is available as an accessory to take care of condensation water when no drain is available. The trolley also makes it easy to place and move the dehumidifier as needed.

The dehumidifier can be set with parameters for the right humidity level or controlled against dew point or connected to an external control system via WiFi or Modbus connection.

"The two FLEX dehumidifiers work very well and we felt that there was a big difference,
already after 2 days it was much drier In Helgarö church

Product selection for churches and cultural buildings

 Depending on the size of the building, one or more FLEX-dehumidifiers may be needed. Or a REX for larger buildings.

As an example, a typical church, holding around 1000 m3 of air, built in stone and used from time to time and kept at 5 degrees, typically needs 1-2 FLEX units.
