Integrity Flooring was contracted to install premium solid hardwood flooring throughout a large unoccupied residential home in the Minneapolis area during the heart of the Minnesota winter. With no occupants running heat consistently and outdoor temperatures dropping well below freezing, maintaining stable interior conditions for wood acclimation and installation was a serious challenge.
Without real-time monitoring, the crew had no way of knowing whether overnight temperature drops were affecting the acclimating material or pushing conditions outside of manufacturer specs.
The company deployed CLīMIT sensors in the home prior to material delivery, allowing the team to remotely monitor temperature and humidity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The system provided peace of mind that the jobsite was holding conditions even when no crew was present.
When the heating system experienced a brief overnight outage, an alert immediately notified the project manager. The team responded quickly, preventing the acclimating hardwood from being exposed to damaging conditions.
