FAQs

What are the energy savings of using MeeFog in cleanrooms?

MeeFog offers dramatic energy savings in humidification compared to steam. In the Danfoss case study, annual humidification costs dropped from $8,000 in gas and electricity to just $750 in electricity with MeeFog. That’s more than a 90% reduction in energy costs—a savings factor of ten—while delivering superior performance.

How does MeeFog improve performance compared to gas-fired humidification systems?

Traditional gas-fired steam systems consume excessive energy and often struggle to maintain even humidity. MeeFog’s centralized high-pressure fogging system uses no natural gas and maintains a consistent humidity level throughout the facility. At Danfoss Power Electronics in Illinois, one MeeFog system replaced an inefficient gas-fired system, eliminating humidity fluctuations while dramatically reducing energy use.

Why is humidification important in cleanrooms and electronics manufacturing?

Cleanrooms and electronics production facilities must control humidity to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), which can damage sensitive components. Stable humidity also ensures compliance with ISO cleanroom standards, prevents contamination, and protects product quality. MeeFog systems deliver precise, reliable humidification ideal for these controlled environments. In the highly controlled environment of a clean room, temperature and humidity are kept to exact settings. Maintaining a precise +- 1% RH is possible with MeeFog and staging valves.

What is the ROI of installing MeeFog in a public space facility?

Most facilities see payback within 1–3 years due to energy savings, reduced maintenance, and elimination of steam boilers. The NC Museum of Art’s installation not only delivered measurable savings but also simplified their HVAC system, proving that MeeFog provides both financial and operational ROI.

Can MeeFog systems help meet compliance standards like ASHRAE Class AA?

Yes. MeeFog humidification systems are designed to achieve precise environmental conditions required for sensitive spaces such as museums, libraries, and galleries. The NC Museum of Art successfully reached ASHRAE Class AA compliance with a MeeFog system, which allowed them to host national traveling art exhibits without risk of humidity-related damage.

How does MeeFog improve air quality and occupant comfort in public facilities?

By replacing steam humidifiers with fog technology, MeeFog improves indoor air quality and ensures consistent humidity levels across large, open spaces. Visitors experience fewer comfort issues like dry air, while collections and building materials are better protected. The system also requires less maintenance, which reduces downtime and operational disruptions in public venues.

What are the energy savings of using MeeFog in public spaces compared to steam?

Traditional steam humidifiers require natural gas or electricity to boil water, leading to high operating costs. In contrast, MeeFog systems use a high-pressure pump and fine water atomization, cutting energy use by up to 90%. At the NC Museum of Art, this translated into more than $30,000 in annual savings, plus reduced carbon emissions.

How can MeeFog replace distributed steam humidifiers in large facilities?

MeeFog systems can consolidate dozens of distributed steam humidifiers into a single central system. For example, at the North Carolina Museum of Art, one MeeFog system replaced 92 steam humidifiers, eliminating the need for a boiler system dedicated to steam. This streamlined the HVAC design, simplified maintenance, and reduced energy costs dramatically.

Why is humidification important in public spaces like museums, theaters, or galleries?

Public spaces with sensitive collections, art, large crowds, or valuable assets that are highly vulnerable to environmental fluctuations, require precise humidity control. Without it, facilities experience wide humidity swings that can damage artwork, artifacts, furnishings, and even affect visitor comfort. Low humidity causes materials like paper, canvas, wood, and textiles to become brittle, crack, or fade. Controlled humidification—typically between 45–55% RH—is crucial for preserving cultural and historical assets over time. MeeFog systems help facilities meet strict standards like ASHRAE Class AA conditions, ensuring stable environments for both people and property.
