Hot, hot and hot again. If you can’t think of anything else, perhaps you need to find a way to cool down the environment: working at excessively high temperatures can be a problem for both health and productivity, as well as a major source of stress.
And, in a summer like 2024, cooling a warehouse can be a challenge, especially if you do not have a large budget. Fortunately, there are several practical strategies that can help you cool your shed efficiently and cost-effectively!
Best tips for cooling a warehouse
Looking for an affordable and effective cooling system? Sometimes a few small improvements are enough, but often you need to invest in a more efficient system that will guarantee a significant reduction in temperatures. On the other hand, every warehouse is unique and you have to consider the type of activity carried out and its specific technical characteristics.
Here are some practical tips on how to keep a warehouse cool even during the hottest seasons.
Optimise thermal insulation
Good thermal insulation is the basis for keeping your warehouse cool in summer. Ensure that walls, roof and floor are properly insulated to reduce heat transfer from the outside to the inside, helping to maintain more stable temperatures.
Take advantage of natural ventilation
Natural ventilation is an effective and economical way to cool a warehouse, although at certain times and conditions it can be completely ineffective. Open windows and doors strategically to encourage a constant air flow, especially during the cooler hours of the day.
Use sunblinds and reflective awning
Sun blinds or reflective materials placed on the roof can reduce heat absorption from the sun. This simple solution will help keep the interior cooler, especially during peak sunshine hours. The technical nature of some sheds, however, does not allow the installation of this type of solution.
Plan activities during the cooler hours
Plan heat- and energy-intensive activities, if possible, during the cooler hours of the day and make sure you have a constant supply of fresh water available.
Carry out regular system maintenance
Do you already have a cooling system, but it is not working as it should? Make sure that your cooling, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are always in working order by scheduling regular maintenance. Clean filters and efficient components will ensure that your system works properly and consumes as little energy as possible.
Invest in evaporative air cooling
Evaporative air coolers are an efficient and environmentally friendly solution to cool a warehouse. Using the principle of water evaporation, these systems are able to significantly lower the air temperature, even with open doors and windows, while consuming very little energy compared to traditional systems.
