Large General Contractors (GCs) undertake a wide range of building projects, spanning multiple industries and serving various purposes. While construction drying is a critical activity throughout all projects, there are notable differences in managing environmental conditions between them. Here is a sample of major building types and what to anticipate for climate, water risk, and other factors:

With thousands of climate control equipment models and manufacturers on the market, it can be challenging to know where to start. This guide provides a high-level overview of the core equipment categories, their typical uses, and key considerations. It’s a helpful resource for anyone involved in specifying climate requirements, sourcing equipment, managing power, or tracking sustainability on the job site.

New technology and techniques are giving project teams more visibility and control of jobsite conditions compared to traditional approaches like hand-held devices, off-the-shelf sensors, and standalone equipment. Top general contractors are using real-time connected systems made up of sensors and smart equipment to proactively manage environmental specifications, accelerate dry time, meet finished good warranties, and reduce overall operational costs and risk.

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.
