Category Information Sample Clauses
The 'Category Information' clause defines how information is classified and managed within the context of an agreement or policy. Typically, it outlines specific categories or types of information—such as confidential, proprietary, or public—and sets rules for how each category should be handled, disclosed, or protected. For example, it may require that confidential information be marked as such and restrict its distribution to authorized parties only. This clause ensures that all parties have a clear understanding of their obligations regarding different types of information, thereby reducing the risk of accidental disclosure or misuse.

Category Information. The goal of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems is to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality. HVAC systems provide ventilation, reduce infiltration (the unintentional introduction of outside air into a building) and maintain pressure relationships between spaces. How air is delivered to and removed from spaces is known as room air distribution. Room air distribution is important because it can improve both the comfort of occupied spaces and reduce energy use. Small-scale HVAC units can simply pull room air in, heat or cool it, and return it to the room. However, systems for large buildings are more complex. Large buildings typically have HVAC central plants that use chilled water and hot water to move heating and cooling to central air handlers. From there, the heated or cooled air is delivered to different rooms and/or cooling zones by mechanical air distribution systems, which are comprised of ducts, fans and dampers to adjust the volume of air entering occupied spaces. American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 55 Thermal environmental conditions for human occupancy (2017) This standard defines the range of indoor thermal environmental conditions acceptable to a majority of occupants. It addresses temperature, thermal radiation, humidity, air speed and personal factors (activity and clothing).
Category Information. Medical and surgical distributors deliver products day and night to hospitals and other customers across the country. Distributors may be national or regional and may service the acute-care and/or non-acute care market. Service to the acute and non-acute markets are no longer distinct, as many distributors serve both markets. Companies large enough to handle distribution to the acute-care market nationally tend to dominate the market.
Category Information. Buying equipment compared to renting has a couple of drawbacks: Buying equipment is expensive. In addition to the retail cost of a machine, you also have to pay to maintain it. You either need to have mechanics on staff who can repair broken machinery (which includes paying for their salaries and their tools) or the money to pay independent mechanics to fix it for you. Equipment gets worse with age. If it is not succumbing to the wear and tear of daily use, it is stuck in a storage facility, decaying and rusting from inactivity. Another drawback is that owning equipment means that you need the space to store it and vehicles to transport it to and from the job site. • Reduced overhead costs – There is no need to invest in a large storage space. The company supplying the rental equipment handles the repairs and maintenance. • Industry expertise – A company that specializes in equipment rental is able to provide you with equipment recommendations and teach you how to use it. • Flexibility and customization – Renting allows for seasonal, temporary or specialized work. To determine if you should rent or buy equipment, a common industry calculation is to divide the number of days you expect to use the machine each month by 22 (the approximate number of working days in a given month). The result is the rate at which you can expect to use a given product. If you expect to use a piece of equipment 10 days per month, you divide 10 by 22, which is 45%. Industry experts suggest that you should only purchase equipment you intend to use 60% of the time or more.
