Portland's climate—mild shoulder seasons punctuated by heat domes, occasional freezes, high humidity, and smoke events—creates specific challenges for commercial spaces. Restaurants battle grease exhaust and makeup air needs to meet Multnomah County health codes, medical offices require precise ventilation and pressure relationships, warehouses need robust heating for 24/7 operations, and tech/data centers demand precision cooling to protect sensitive equipment. Outdated or poorly maintained systems lead to downtime, regulatory violations, skyrocketing utility costs, and employee discomfort.
