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.

Chicago Build is the leading construction, design and real estate show for Chicago and the Midwest. Chicago Build is free to attend and features 10,000+ registered attendees, 200+ speakers, 200+ exhibitors and extensive business networking. As the Midwest’s leading construction, design and real estate show, it’s no wonder that Polygon will be exhibiting at the show, October 19th and 20th.

Rental equipment from Polygon for temperature and humidity control can help deliver a better finished product on construction projects.

On construction sites during the summer, heat, and humidity can cause problems to building materials and wreak havoc on schedules. Dehumidification and cooling are typical pieces of equipment used to fight these conditions. Separate air conditioning and dehumidification equipment requires a large footprint and higher power consumption. Polygon's Humidity Control Unit (HCU) combines cooling and desiccant dehumidification into one unit, significantly decreasing the footprint required, as well as power consumption. When a solution to humidity and high temperatures is needed, save space and money by renting an HCU Unit from Polygon.

The SSPC is a non-profit professional society focused on the protection and preservation of concrete, steel and other industrial and marine structures and surfaces through the use of high-performance protective, marine and industrial coatings. Each year, the SSPC hosts a one-of-a-kind conference focusing specifically on technical education for coatings industry professionals. SSPC 2019 is slated for February 11-14, at Orlando’s Disney Coronado Springs Resort.
