Background information
Säffle Pastorat has always been at the forefront of property management. For example, they were among the first to install climate control systems in their churches. Today, the churches' indoor climate is optimized based on moisture, wind and temperature. Like the heating system, the dehumidifiers are connected so that staff can monitor and control them remotely, saving time and money.
What problems did the Airwatergreen dehumidifier solve?
With the help of Airwatergreen's dehumidifier, it has now been possible to lower the heating between services as far as desired. Warm air can carry more moisture than cold air, so if you just turn off the heating without dehumidification, you will soon have problems with mold and rot. In addition to dehumidification in church halls, which is the most common location, the technology is used in sacristy and basement spaces within the pastorate.
Benefits of using awg products vs. doing nothing?
The advantage over conventional dehumidifiers is that Airwatergreens work equally well in cold and hot environments, require no fixed installation and are completely self-regulating. Heating a church in Sweden costs an average of 70,000 KWh per year according to a study by the University of Gothenburg. An Airwatergreen dehumidifier consumes a maximum of 3,504 KWh/year, so every hour you can replace heating with dehumidification means a saving.
