Moisture Meets Its Match: Quest Climate Keeps Klawock School’s Gym Dry

With Quest Climate’s dehumidifiers, Klawock School’s gym is no longer a slippery hazard but a safer, more comfortable space.

Humidity management is essential in any school environment, particularly in older buildings prone to excessive moisture. At Klawock School in Alaska, the gymnasium faced significant humidity challenges, leading to condensation and creating a hazardous environment with frequent maintenance. With safety and cost concerns at the forefront, the school needed an efficient, affordable solution to resolve these issues while staying within budget.

Challenge: Condensation and Safety Issues in the Gymnasium

Located in a temperate rainforest climate, Klawock School’s gymnasium regularly experienced high humidity and condensation. The aging building had no air conditioning, and condensation dripped from the ceiling, creating slippery floors and promoting rust on gym equipment and infrastructure. These conditions made the environment unsafe for students and staff, and required frequent maintenance and repair. Due to power limitations and budget constraints, the school wanted an affordable fix and needed a practical, sustainable solution.

Solution: Installing Quest Climate 335 Dehumidifiers

Quest Climate’s Sales and Engineering teams worked closely with Klawock School to design a solution tailored to their specific needs. Three Quest Climate 335 dehumidifiers were installed to manage the humidity in the gymnasium. These units were selected for their energy efficiency and plug-and-play installation, making them ideal for the school’s 208-volt power system.

The Quest Climate 335 dehumidifiers remove significant moisture from the air while consuming minimal energy, offering a cost-effective, sustainable approach. These dehumidifiers not only controlled the humidity in the gym with minimal energy consumption, making it an affordable option for the school’s tight budget.

Impact: Safer Spaces, Less maintenance, and Energy Savings

The results of the installation were immediate:

Safety Improvements: By eliminating condensation, the gym’s wet, slippery surfaces were eliminated, creating a safer environment for students and staff.
Lower Maintenance Costs: The gym is protected against the threat of rust and corrosion, promoting longevity for the equipment and infrastructure, with lower maintenance and repair costs.
Energy Efficiency: Quest Climate’s energy-efficient dehumidifiers minimized the school’s overall energy consumption, keeping utility bills low.
Sustainability: The Quest Climate 335 units provided an affordable, long-term solution that minimized maintenance costs and supported the school’s sustainability goals.
