We maintain 6 individual temperature zones, and have 4 custom dehumidification systems onsite, providing control of both ambient temperature and Relative Humidity (RH%).

There are 2 highly controlled zones which can be configured to maintain RH anywhere from 20%-60% with <5% variabilty, and Samsung DOAS delivering all air to the site at 70 degrees farenheit and 50% RH for conditioned, clean outside air.
