What effect does using larger portable equipment have on a building's air system?

Using larger portable equipment can significantly impact a building's air system by potentially disrupting normal pressurization. This disruption can occur because larger equipment often has a higher airflow rate than the existing HVAC system can manage. When this happens, it can create an imbalance in the building's air pressure, leading to negative effects such as drafts, unwanted air infiltration, and reduced effectiveness of the HVAC system. Maintaining appropriate pressurization is crucial for controlling air quality and humidity levels within the building, so any disruption can have cascading effects on the overall environment.

In contrast, while larger equipment may seem beneficial in terms of energy efficiency, air quality, or moisture removal, those outcomes are not guaranteed and can vary based on the specific situation and existing systems in place. Therefore, the potential impact on pressurization is a critical consideration when using larger portable equipment in any indoor environment.
