Construction work doesn’t completely stop because it gets cold outside. Rental heaters help keep the crew warm and the products stable for installation. If air flow needs to be improved or moisture becomes an issue, dehumidification can be used to stabilize the environment. Don’t suffer delays during the cold weather, Polygon can help keep you going.

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.

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.
