Book Description

This Information Paper reviews the management of simple buildings, such as warehouses, for environmental conditions. The demands for environmental conditions in UK warehousing and retail sheds were researched and issues of user comfort and specific product categories (eg grain, spirit maturation, palletised and racking storage units, and depots) were explored.

The Information Paper considers temperature and humidity control, types of heating systems, retrofit measures, lighting recommendations, and benefits of retrofit or replacement. A specific case study of whisky maturation warehouses is used to highlight the ability to measure and model environmental conditions and assess their impact on ethanol losses during the maturation process.
