Join leaders from Polygon, AXA XL, and Wint for a fireside chat on the technology helping prevent water damage and mitigate risk on construction sites.

In food and beverage manufacturing, environmental control is directly tied to food safety, regulatory compliance, and operational continuity. Temperature and humidity work together, and when they aren’t properly managed, they create condensation, one of the most common and overlooked environmental risks in USDA-regulated facilities.

When temperatures drop, archives, libraries, and records storage facilities face hidden risks that extend beyond cold air and low humidity. Frozen pipes and sudden bursts can release hundreds of gallons of water in minutes, threatening the safety of irreplaceable files, books, and archival materials. For organizations responsible for preserving cultural heritage and critical records, a proactive approach to water management can mean the difference between minimal disruption and a devastating loss.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used rating system for green buildings and available for nearly all building types. The framework is built in the spirit of health, efficiency, and cost-savings, and is meant to advance the industry and improve the built environment for people and planet. In 2019, LEED v4.1 was released with emphasis on performance monitoring and human health factors like indoor air quality. Naturally, the state of indoor climates and the means in which we create them offer an opportunity for construction contractors and building owners.

When water damage threatens critical documents, choosing the right drying method is essential to prevent deterioration. This article explores both methods, outlining their benefits, considerations, and best-use scenarios.
