The Habitat for Humanity Greater Worcester ReStore often reaches extreme temperatures during the summer months, creating a hazardous environment for its occupants. Our team surveyed ReStore customers, volunteers, and staff in order to evaluate the impact environmental conditions have on their experiences. By performing cooling load calculations, assessing ventilation and insulation options, and analyzing costs, the team provided the ReStore with a list of potential solutions and focused recommendations based on cost and effectiveness, most notably the AIRMAX ventilation system.
