With the rise of skyscrapers during the 1920s, engineers and building owners began realizing that single pane windows offered little to no insulation, resulting in much higher energy costs. It didn’t take long for engineers to discover that simply adding an additional pane of glass to

Hospitals have a problematic combination of varying internal temperature, air pressure, and humidity level requirements that can result in the accumulation of condensation. Condensation is a reaction that occurs when water vapor converts into liquid on surfaces due to a difference in

November 2014 was the coldest November in nearly 15 years in the US and served as a chilly reminder that no area is safe from frigid temperatures: all 50 US states fell below the freezing mark; Buffalo, NY was buried in more than 65 inches of lake effect snow; and parts of Montana exp

Condensation is moisture that forms on surfaces, particularly windows, when the surface is cooler than the dew point, or the temperature in which water vapor in the air converts into liquid. The amount of condensation that collects on windows can vary significantly depending on the ty

Condensation is the result of water vapor in the air dropping in temperature and becoming liquid water, the phase that is known as the water’s dew point. This accumulation of liquid water can be problematic indoors, such as on window surfaces, and is the result of cold temperatures pr
