Yes. MeeFog is ideal for vivariums, labs, surgical suites, and patient-care spaces that demand precise humidity control. With its scalable pump and nozzle arrays, MeeFog can handle large outside air volumes while maintaining tight humidity ranges required for both animal care and medical research.

MeeFog systems consume up to 90% less energy than steam humidifiers and dramatically outperform compressed air systems. In the NYC cancer center, the MeeFog system cost about $65,000 to install but delivered $35,000 in annual electricity savings, resulting in a payback period of less than 2 years.

The cancer center needed to stabilize humidity in its 14,000 sq. ft. vivarium running on 100% outside air. A MeeFog system with a variable-speed 3 hp pump and four levels of fogging maintained 30–60% RH and 72°F, even on the coldest winter days. Results included: $35,000 annual energy savings compared to compressed air humidification, More precise humidity control for sensitive research environments, Reduced maintenance and higher reliability, The success was so significant that the center is considering MeeFog as the new standard across its facilities.

Unlike steam systems that add heat or compressed air systems that are energy-intensive, MeeFog uses high-pressure fogging to create ultra-fine droplets that evaporate instantly. This method provides precise humidity control while consuming a fraction of the energy. In healthcare environments, this translates to safer air quality, reduced pathogen spread, and lower operating costs.

Maintaining the right humidity is critical for infection control, patient recovery, and staff comfort. Low humidity dries out mucous membranes, making people more vulnerable to airborne illnesses. Research shows that maintaining 40–60% RH reduces the survival rate of airborne pathogens, creating a healthier environment for patients, visitors, and staff. Proper humidification is essential for infection control and patient recovery.

Yes. MeeFog humidifiers integrate seamlessly with modern data center BAS and monitoring systems, enabling operators to control humidity levels with the same precision as temperature and airflow. At OneNeck IT Solutions, the MeeFog system worked alongside existing infrastructure while delivering measurable energy savings.

The ROI is typically very fast, as MeeFog reduces both humidification and cooling energy costs. With energy use up to 100x lower than electric steam, operators can achieve payback within 1–3 years depending on facility size and hours of operation. At the same time, MeeFog systems reduce operational complexity and maintenance compared to steam boilers.

MeeFog systems are designed to meet Tier 3 redundancy standards, with dual pumps, dual power feeds, and independent controls. This ensures continuous operation even during component failures. By integrating into existing air handling units (AHUs), MeeFog delivers precise humidity control without compromising uptime.

At its Tier 3 data center in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, OneNeck IT Solutions installed MeeFog humidification to reduce energy use. Combined with UPS and BAS modifications, the system significantly cut power consumption. The MeeFog system provided: high-pressure fogging to reduce chiller load, full redundancy (two pumps, two power feeds, two controls), simple integration with existing AHUs — one fogging system per room handled the load. This approach provided robust reliability while lowering operational costs.
