What's the thoughts on drying fans (not hot air) being left on site, turned on overnight?

Bit more info - type of site e.g. construction, attended e.g. 24 hour works/roving guard/drive by, power source of fans, adjacent materials e.g. flammables, permit conditions e.g. noise limits/times/days

It's for drying an external render product for units of modular homes (steel framed), in a factory environment. 

Works cease art 10pm and pick up again at 6am. fans would be mains powered. no flammables in adjacent areas, no permits reqiuired, no noise or working restrictions in place. 

My clinet needs to dry thier modules ot be able to progress as peer the main clients prograame, fine in the summer but wet and colder conditions mean they can't keep up with the expectations. 

We have suggested using fans to help, but their are worried about leaving them unattended.

Is there a more suitable render available - one specifically developed for the modular industry work paractices and environment rather than bringing a standard construction product indoors?

More interestingly what is the render suppliers consideration and recommendtation for what would be considered "forced" drying e.g. will chemical cross-linking be affected impacting the quality of the application?

I am guessing the site has large doors a huge work area and minimal environmental control as a consequence.

We are using a product designed for modular applications. 

Yes large doors but they are closed when the factory is on downtime.

There is of course a easier solution. Why don't they put in a couple of guys to partol the process, they could be used to either clean or do some work during the night. It sounds like that it will only be required during the colder months so it could be cost effective.
