If you’ve ever noticed that the attic in your house is warmer than the floors below? If so, then you’ve seen the stack ventilation in action. Stack effect ventilation uses this same principle to ventilate a building naturally. By taking advantage of the differences in air density inside, outside, and throughout the building a space
Fork trucks are used in every type of facility. From fan factories to steel mills to aluminum fabrication plants. We encounter many different types of these forklifts and fork trucks daily. From electric forklifts to reach trucks to counterbalance forklifts, they are so common. So common in fact that it is easy to become complacent
Carbon Monoxide is often called “the silent killer” because even though it is odorless, colorless, and tasteless it is still quite poisonous and very deadly. Hundreds of people die accidentally each year from carbon monoxide. The main causes of these poisonings are often poor building ventilation and improperly using fuel-burning appliances. As the weather gets
Production Specialist Neal Rainey explains why Savage IO chose Moffitt low-profile natural ventilators instead of exhaust fans for their data center ventilation. The resultant hybrid/pressure gravity system® made an enormous impact on this plant overnight. Watch this quick video to learn more about ventilating your data center from Moffitt. Data Center Ventilation In this testimonial,
Studies show that we work better in environments with plenty of sunlight and fresh air. While Natural Ventilation in the U.S. is still underutilized, buildings all over the world have seen its benefits in schools, offices, and industrial plants. Properly lit, properly ventilated spaces make everyone more efficient. That is why proper lighting and ventilation
Natural ventilation is the single most efficient and effective cooling system available. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work in all building types. Spot cooling with axial fans and powered intake are effective ways to compliment a natural ventilation system. Of course, they also maximize energy efficiency and lower operating costs. Adding axial fans ventilation is an effective

At Moffitt, we use portable, non-self-supporting ladders in every aspect of the work we perform. In the factory, we use them to access equipment and lighting. In the office, we occasionally use them for routine maintenance and repair access. And of course, on the job site, we use them every day. Knowing these ladder safety
Natural ventilation is an old technology that has returned to the limelight because of the increased focus on green construction and green energy. So, what is natural gravity ventilation’s impact, and how does it work? Understanding Natural Ventilation Much as the name suggests, natural ventilation is a process by which a building is kept at
“The Five Hazardous Attitudes” are the source of most on-the-job incidents during elevated construction. These attitudes, Anti-Authority, Impulsivity, Invulnerability, Macho, & Resignation, often lead to poor judgment and risk assessment. Rigorously evaluating the situation, including its risks, is vital to ensuring a safe work environment. These attitudes often pop up in everyday life, aviation, the
