The scope is enormous! You know how big your own HVAC system is at home, and how it is strong enough to cool or heat your entire house
When the performers are out there under the lights, in front of the crowd, it can get hot. I work for the facility, not with any one particular band or artist, but my job is very important. Rock bands probably have it the worst, because they are so high-energy on stage, and have the brightest lights. Stage plays are much different, and a lot calmer, but they also rely more on heavy stage makeup, which can run if the actors get too hot. I am the head HVAC tech for the facility, and I work hard to make sure the audience and the performers all get the best possible experience. I don’t do it alone, of course, because the gargantuan size of our climate control system requires a full team of certified experts. If you have never before seen an industrial sized HVAC system, you might just get blown away by the size of these things. The scope is enormous! You know how big your own HVAC system is at home, and how it is strong enough to cool or heat your entire house. Now picture a house one hundred times as big, holding thousands of people a night, and consider how massive that HVAC system needs to be! This is how I make my living, spending all day every day tending to the behemoth heating and cooling system, with its miles worth of ductwork. That’s right, our system has over seven miles worth of air ducts, and I have to make sure every last inch of it is in perfect working condition.
