The Challenge
The right conditions for a delicate task
The infrastructure and bones of historical buildings are extremely delicate. They require just the right environmental conditions to avoid causing damage, and during a renovation this is particularly difficult to achieve.
When Kirlin Mechanical was tasked with renovating the Cannon House Office Building, Washington DC’s oldest congressional building, they needed a way to keep relative humidity low and meet high power needs — and all despite low electrical availability.
