Air-conditioning (AC) refers to the process of altering the air within a chosen environment in order to control its temperature, humidity or cleanliness of the air to achieve desired conditions.
Snow Desert, a company that specialises in Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems in Kenya, says in its newsletter that certain commercial processes require some specific conditions to be maintained just as homes need to achieve a general level of comfort for their occupants.

Snow Desert says the quality of air that you breathe in, in today’s fast-paced home and business environment needs to be taken very seriously.
“Breathing in good quality air at home or in the workplace not only reduces the risks of health hazards but also encourages productivity,” the company says. “Apart from regulating the temperature of the building, the HVAC systems help to keep your body warm and comfortable.”
The global trend of going green, the company contends, “has seen an increase in demand for AC and refrigeration systems that are extremely energy efficient, cost effective and environmental conscious. Today’s designs are able to accommodate the heating as well as the cooling components in a single unit. This has enabled them to use energy in a more cost effective manner thereby reducing the cost of electricity.”

“As an employer, you are fulfilling your health and safety duties by creating an environment in which staff and customers are comfortable and protected,” Snow Desert says in its latest newsletter. “Air conditioning units are essential for a business, which specializes in physical services, such as gyms, sports centers, dance halls and spas. The air purification and filtration solutions provided by a good conditioning unit are also essential for hygiene in these areas.”
The company, that says it also offers maintenance service for HVAC systems enabling them to work efficiently, cleanly and reliably.
