For the premises with more stringent temperature and humidity requirements, like the Chinese restaurant, the contribution of SHDCS in energy saving would be significant.
The plan targets laboratory research buildings in particular; often referred to as "heavy breathers," these buildings consume significant amounts of air that must be heated or cooled to satisfy temperature and humidity requirements.
What we found, is that while essential health supplies certainly face challenges that a Coke bottle or calling cards do not -- such as strict temperature or humidity requirements, closer tracking systems and sometimes even the need for skilled staff to administer the product -- there are other areas where global health can learn valuable lessons from the private sector.
Few people, including the world's zoos, have figured out how to breed this rare species, and I confess it took me ten years of trial and error to figure out their temperature and humidity requirements and to understand their particular environmental preferences.
Table 1 shows humidity requirements for gas delivery at different anatomic sites in the airway [ 12].
Outside domiciles, survival at "high" humidity was intermediate, suggesting very high humidity requirements, or energetic costs of wandering outside domiciles.
Higher humidities are generally required at higher temperatures (Lewis 1962; Laughlin 1977; Kirk 1997); the heat of the Australian arid zone may create especially high humidity requirements.
So what happens if you don't maintain the temperature and humidity within these requirements?
The growth and sporulation of many pathogens is favored by high humidity, and temperature requirements are similar to other mesophiles, with ranges between 5 and 50°C and optima between 20 and 30°C [ 1, 12, 13].
Each subspecies has its own dietary, humidity, and cage requirements that must be met.
This eliminates the stringent requirement for humidity however, they have many potential drawbacks including increased degradation, leaching of acid and incompatibility with current state-of-the-art fuel cell materials.
