Since HVAC systems are intended for long-term use within completed structures, they are often hazardous when placed in buildings under construction. When used during the construction phase, these systems are vulnerable to infiltration by a variety of harmful mold, bacteria, dust, debris, and other contaminants that can lead to health problems and other issues down the road. Further, designed to cool and heat occupants—not construction sites—these systems can create excessive moisture on the premises, wreaking havoc on materials.

Polygon is proud to be a part of the architecture and engineering community. As part of that pride, we offer a free AIA course: Avoiding Moisture Problems During Construction.

Protecting the health and safety of both patients and staff is a primary concern for hospitals. As such, there’s been an emphasis on preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) in recent years. HAIs cost the U.S. healthcare system an estimated $9.8 billion each year. But when a healthcare facility is undergoing construction—from a new wing to structural updates, etc.—dust, mold, microbes and other airborne particles are introduced into the environment, placing patients and staff in jeopardy. Polygon has the capability, knowledge and skills necessary to provide temporary climate solutions to stabilize the climate during a hospital construction project, helping to maintain a safe and healthy environment.

When moisture becomes an issue, with icing or condensation delaying production, many food and manufacturing plants need a temporary solution. To help control humidity or manage temperature on a temporary or seasonal basis, rental equipment is available 24/7 from Polygon.

Smart home technology began with the invention of clap-on-clap-off lamps in the 80’s, and has since evolved into intelligent tech that can monitor a buildling’s temperature, light, and security. This same tech is making its way into industrial environments and saving businesses big bucks. The Polygon Group has designed an innovative smart thermostat, ExactAire, and packed with an array of sensors to help construction companies and warehouse enterprises remotely monitor and control a building's climate. As guests on today’s podcast, we discuss ExactAire’s capabilities and benefits with Don Schnell, Sales Director at Polygon Group, and Brandon Willis, Creative Director at EyeType Consulting LLC.
