A smoking lounge needs a unique HVAC system
I was beyond stoked when our town got its first cannabis dispensary, however I knew they were becoming more frequent in big cities… However, out here in the country we had to wait a couple years to catch up, however medical marijuana was already legal, however that law didn’t do much fine if there were no venues to buy it! Thankfully that dark time is gone, and I am a common customer at the dispensary; however last month I was there, and the supervisor was talking to the employees about adding on a new smokers lounge, and as an heating and air conditioning tech, I offered to give him some advice on what kind of system to use for it.
Although they had a list of regulations and spec that all dispensaries had to follow, they had no plan which kind of heating and air conditioning system to use to meet the strict standards.
I offered to take the paperwork home with me and take a closer look at it, and then come back with an actual heating and air conditioning company system and price quote. I didn’t run the task through our heating and air conditioning corporation, I wanted to handle it on our own as a freelance task. I won’t say it was an easy task, and it was the first full heating and air conditioning installation task I worked on by myself, however the results were fantastic… The owner was gratified with the ventilation in the new smokers lounge, and said he would recommend myself and others to other dispensary owners. The pay was nice, however best of all I was granted a permanent employee discount at the dispensary, for all future purchases.
