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.
