American hospitals are being pushed to the limit as they deal with the ongoing pandemic. In order to handle the influx of patients and keep people as safe as possible from infection, field hospitals are being set up in parks, convention centers, and other places for public assembly. Using these spaces for medical purposes comes with a set of challenges. Amongst those challenges is retrofitting the spaces to ensure that the air quality inside meets the standards required for medical treatment.

Increased efforts to filter the air and balance pressures to control the spread of viruses can lead to unwanted temperature and humidity in hospital rooms, temporary facilities, and other critical care spaces.

Across the nation, buildings are emptying out. People are staying home in order to promote their own safety as well as the safety of others. During this time, it’s important that building owners and facility managers take the steps necessary to protect their buildings while they are empty.

Polygon takes immense pride in being part of the architecture and engineering community. We wouldn’t be the company that we are today without it.

The Federal Aviation Administration handles more than 16 million flights a year. It takes quite a fleet of aircraft to reach that number, and that fleet requires a lot of maintenance and storage. When airplanes, jets, and other aircraft are put into storage, they are subject to conditions that are ideal for condensation and increased humidity in the fuselage. Polygon offers engineered temporary climate control solutions that can keep humidity levels in check.
