Windows and doors are kept shut to ensure climate controls work effectively

Timely repairs are performed on broken windows and on dried putty and caulking around windows and doors to eliminate cracks and leaks.

Maintenance of temperature and relative humidity controls:

  • Training is provided to ensure staff know how to monitor and maintain controls so that they work effectively
