LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the most widely used rating system for green buildings and available for nearly all building types. The framework is built in the spirit of health, efficiency, and cost-savings, and is meant to advance the industry and improve the built environment for people and planet. In 2019, LEED v4.1 was released with emphasis on performance monitoring and human health factors like indoor air quality. Naturally, the state of indoor climates and the means in which we create them offer an opportunity for construction contractors and building owners.

[PRESS RELEASE] Boston, January 7, 2025 - Boston, MA – Polygon US Corporation is pleased to announce the recent issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,082,601, which covers an innovative Peracetic Acid (PAA) monitoring and control system designed to enhance disinfection and safety standards in food processing. Polygon’s ExactAire® technology has the potential to transform operational safety and efficiency in traditional food processing facilities. It is actively opening doors into construction, commercial property management, and other segments where indoor air quality management is increasingly essential.

Is your team or owner tempted to use the permanent HVAC system during construction to climatize a job? An early start-up can be convenient and appear to not be a problem but carries hidden risks that can undermine the project's success. Consider the following and discuss these issues with your stakeholders to gain support for a temporary system.

Indoor air quality is important on construction jobsites for several reasons. One, controlling dust and fumes supports productivity and the health of workers. Two, good air quality can protect duct work and reduce health risks to future occupants. Third, maintaining good conditions can help protect sensitive components and equipment from moisture and dust during and after installation.

Critical infrastructure, like data centers and server rooms, are the backbone of modern industries, requiring meticulous planning and execution during construction. Moisture control and climate management rank high on the list of priorities for ensuring the resilience of these facilities. Let's explore how temporary climate control and environmental monitoring during construction play a crucial role in their success.
