How Do I Track Equipment and Use Equipment Recommendations in DryBook?

This article explains how to log equipment in DryBook, assign it to chambers and rooms, and track placement and removal. It also explains how Albi generates equipment recommendations and what those recommendations mean.

Equipment

The Equipment section in DryBook is used to record and track the drying equipment placed on the job.

Equipment can include:

  • Air Movers
  • Dehumidifiers
  • Air Scrubbers
  • Heaters
  • Large Fans
  • Specialty drying equipment (e.g., Injectidry systems, floor mats)

4.1 Adding Equipment in DryBook

  1. Go to the Equipment tab in DryBook.
  2. Click Add Equipment.

  3. A form will open where you can enter:
    • Equipment Type (Air Mover, Dehumidifier, etc.)
    • Specific Unit (if you track by ID or serial)
    • Chamber / Room where it’s placed
    • Placement Date
    • Removal Date (when it is eventually pulled)

      4.   Any additional notes (e.g., stacked, pointing to exterior wall, placed under                            cabinetry)


      5.    Click Save to log the equipment.


 

Equipment Recommendations (DryBook)

After you enter your DryBook details, Albi automatically gives equipment recommendations to help you plan your job.

How these recommendations work:

  • For walls, Albi suggests 1 air mover for every 15 feet of wall
     (This does not count insets or small wall sections.)
  • For ceilings, Albi suggests 1 air mover for every 150 square feet

Important to know:

  • These numbers are meant to be general guidance, not strict rules.
  • Albi does not tell you how many dehumidifiers to use.
  • Instead, Albi shows how much moisture needs to be removed per day (pints per day), so you can choose the dehumidifiers that make the most sense for the job.
  • These recommendations are there to help you get started, but you should always adjust equipment based on what you see on-site and your experience.

 



4.2 Why this Matters

  • Helps track how much equipment is used on a job
  • Supports billing and invoicing (equipment charges)
  • Helps verify that the amount and type of equipment is appropriate for the affected area

Note:

Equipment listed at the bottom of the Basic Info tab can also be added directly to DryBook from this section. Any equipment logged here will be available when building invoices and can be reviewed later for equipment usage across projects
