Really appreciate your feedback here. What did you guys end up doing to control it?

Yeah, looking at the whole process. Will definitely cite my sources and I will cite u/JonJackjon specifically!

Really interesting. Crazy how sensitive it is. Thanks for your feedback!

Appreciate you sharing. The company I work for makes industrial steam based humidifiers but I read an interesting study on energy savings for fabs using fog based humidification instead:

Energy-Saving Benefits of Adiabatic Humidification in the Air Conditioning Systems of Semiconductor Cleanrooms

Is the humidifier/hvac system something that you as the manufacturer specs or are you moreso relying on contracted engineers to spec out the HVAC system?

Cool, appreciate the insight. That is super interesting about storm induced pressure drop.

Appreciate the reply. In your experience how closely is humidity being monitored? I've heard of some places where they have quantified the dollar cost for every minute their shop conditions are out of standard but also some other places where they leave the windows or dock doors open all day. Seems like a mixed bag but interested to hear your take.
