There is a lot more space for heat to come in and for cool air to escape.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also essential to make sure that your warehouse is adequately insulated. Not only is this an advantage to keep cold air in, but it also helps to keep cold air out during the winter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you are confident that your warehouse is adequately insulated, you can start looking at airflow without worrying about wasting energy and money. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An air conditioning unit doesn\u2019t always do the trick, especially in a large warehouse where air flow is limited. If air conditioning isn\u2019t cutting it, ceiling fans can help with the air flow. However, the higher your warehouse ceiling is, the less effective the fans will be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have large ceilings, you can consider using fans with high volume and low speed. These fans will increase ventilation and can cover up to 20,000 square feet with a 24-inch fan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skybladefans.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SkyBlade<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fans cover from 11,300 square feet to 45,000 square feet and have an operating cost of about a dollar a day. Their fans also help during the winter by minimizing the temperature in the room and mixing the air. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another solution can be industrial fans for areas that aren\u2019t getting any cold air. This includes areas with lots of workers or machines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industrial fans from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.northerntool.com\/shop\/tools\/category_fans+drum-floor-fans+drum-fans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Northern Tool and Equipment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can keep your warehouse cool without all the noise due to their belt-drive motors and low vibration levels. They also have rubber wheels so you can easily transport the fan to areas of the warehouse that need the most attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a look at the machinery in your warehouse. Running machines all day long can increase the temperature, so keep things efficient and only have machines running when they need to be running. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-3{ padding-top : 20px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 20px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-4 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start\" style=\"max-width:1144px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-3{margin-top:5px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:10px!important;margin-left:0px!important;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-3{margin-top:0px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:20px!important; margin-left:0px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>3.

Make sure to have some backup generators to protect the refrigeration of your products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You also must keep track of your industrial freezers and make sure that they are running properly and have had any maintenance problems taken care of. That way you can have your freezer running at full power throughout the entire summer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It also isn&#8217;t a bad idea to get an alarm system for your cold storage units. If something does go wrong and your temperatures start to drop too low, you\u2019re going to want to be on top of it and know that there is a problem as soon as it happens. In case of a temperature drop, you will have about four hours to restore your food to the proper temperature. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another important aspect is to keep your cold storage away from any poorly insulated parts of your building. This includes entrances and exits to the warehouse so your products can be exposed to as little heat as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch for how often doors are opened to enter and exit the warehouse. Doing this will keep your fridges and products cool and easier to keep cool so you can save money. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-4{ padding-top : 20px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 20px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-5 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start\" style=\"max-width:1144px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-4{margin-top:5px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:10px!important;margin-left:0px!important;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-4{margin-top:0px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:20px!important; margin-left:0px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-4 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>4.

No one likes to work in the heat and employees will be less motivated to do their best work. A cool warehouse will help keep morale high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A happy worker is a productive worker. It can be hard to keep a warehouse at a comfortable temperature, so it is crucial that your employees are not only happy on a hot day but healthy as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat exhaustion is common in the summer and can be caused by high temperatures or humidity, heat sources like heavy machinery, or physical activity. It can lead to employees being unable to work, which will not only hurt the employee, but it will also slow down productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heat exhaustion can cause a decrease in awareness and performance and can even lead to fainting, which can be extremely dangerous in a warehouse environment. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include red skin, high fevers, dizziness, nausea, or vomiting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid heat exhaustion, make sure employees are properly hydrated and have enough breaks throughout the day to cool down if necessary. Educate your employees on heat exhaustion and tips to avoid it, like wearing light-colored and comfortable clothing and staying hydrated.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-5{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-5 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1064px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-5{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-5 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-5{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-5 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-6{ padding-top : 20px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 20px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-7 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:20px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:20px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><style type=\"text\/css\"><\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-6 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-three\" style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:10px;margin-left:0px;\"><h3 class=\"title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>6.

In the end, it is better to have a higher electricity bill than it is to have to replace bundles of damaged inventory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid this, make sure your inventory is in top shape and doesn\u2019t have a lot of excess stock that isn\u2019t needed.

You don\u2019t want to place any inventory near hot machinery to increase the temperature of the stock more.
