Sustainable architecture and building practices are not new trends, but construction methods of the past thirty years continue to prioritize sustainability in materials, processes, equipment and technology.

While most industries have undergone drastic changes over the course of the last year amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, none has been impacted more than the medical industry. Doctors, nurses, and hospital staff have dealt with more patients than ever before. And outside of hospitals, biomedical manufacturers have had to make an unprecedented number of tests and other equipment to keep people safe and combat the spread of this virus.

A variety of industries benefit from removing humidity from the working environment, a process known as dehumidification. Excess humidity can damage construction materials, encourage microbial growth, and interrupt a variety of industrial processes. By installing dehumidifiers on the worksite, these problems can be avoided. But when choosing a dehumidification provider, not all companies are the same. Working with a company that specializes in temporary climate solutions, like Polygon, will yield the best results.

Over the last several months, hemp growers have worked hard to plant, grow, and harvest hemp plants. Now, it’s time to prepare the product to be processed into the thousands of products available on the market today. But first, the hemp plants have to be dried. This requires a very specific climate. In a time of year where the weather can be unpredictable, achieving the conditions necessary to successfully dry hemp plants can be extremely challenging.

The US food industry is a giant, complex machine. Products start on farms and end on tables. But what happens in between those two points varies greatly.

Animal products go through processing facilities to ensure safety for the consumer. During processing, whether ingredients are taking powder form or simply being packaged, it’s important that humidity is controlled.
