Be very careful of what you install and how you run it.  We had some
sort of commercial humidifier in a server room in a previous building
that not only added humidity to the air, but also a large quantity of
fine white dust.

Other known problems with humidifiers are related to mold/bacteria
growth.

I suspect there are plenty of building and health codes to worry about
for a business installation.
