Maintaining good indoor air quality is a balancing act - temperature, humidity, and ventilation all need to be considered when selecting the approach and equipment.   In this peer-reviewed technical paper, lead author and analytical microbiologist Sonali Deshmukh, along with Cyril Mathew, Patrick McCaffrey, Kirstin Ross, and Harriet Whiley, discuss a research experiment conducted in a busy food service environment, examining the effectiveness of two different cooling technologies in relation to both thermal comfort and indoor air quality: reverse-cycle AC and indirect evaporative cooling.   The paper breaks down the engineering data, performance comparisons, and cost implications from a local SA perspective.
