Can your facility handle scorching summer heat? <\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s summer heat has become so extreme that days reaching 40\u00b0C<\/span> (104\u00b0F) or higher now have an official name: kokushobi<\/span>, often translated as \u201cbrutally hot days.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Japan is far from alone. Recent heatwaves across Europe are another reminder that extreme summer heat is becoming a global challenge\u2014for cities, workplaces, and industrial operations alike.<\/p>\n

As this article<\/a> shows, Japan has been stepping up efforts to protect people from dangerous heat. Our Outdoor mist cooling systems<\/a> have also been used for years at sports venues, public facilities, shopping areas, and train stations. <\/p>\n

\nAt one outdoor installation, temperatures in the mist-cooled area were approximately 3\u20135\u00b0C lower<\/span> than in the surrounding area during operation, helping reduce heat stress\u2014without giving passersby an unwanted shower. <\/p>\n
