General Contractors (GCs) running a busy commercial construction site have three fundamental goals: avoid delays, save money, and keep the client happy. Unfortunately, an effective climate control strategy is often overlooked but can be the key component standing in the way of achieving those goals.
When it comes to climate control think beyond just making the crew comfortable. It is essential in expediting specific tasks, such as drying poured concrete or ensuring glue used in carpet and flooring installations is ready for the next step. Contractors and owners tend to use the permanent HVAC system during construction because it is available. While this is an easy and simple approach, there are inherent risks that all stakeholders should weigh before approving an early startup:
The Temporary Solution
The use of temporary heating and cooling systems reduces the contractor’s job-related risk and liability by effectively keeping temperature and air quality-related problems under control. Rather than possibly damaging the house system or voiding its warranty, you can actually save money by choosing a temporary climate solution.
Expediting schedules is critical for every project team. We've engineered hundreds of systems to help speed up the drying process of drywall mud and self-leveling concrete, like Gypcrete. Applying the right technology in the right way can make the difference between being on time or in the red.
By utilizing energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly equipment specifically configured for the project, you can combat extreme temperatures in any building situation, avoid HVAC shutdowns and protect warranties, all while providing the optimum climate to cure coatings, manufacture products, and operate comfortably. Not only are Polygon’s temporary conditioning systems versatile, but they also provide clean, continuous ventilation, and can be powered with oil, gas, and electric heating. Polygon also provides easy, cost-effective installation and on-site servicing.
Temporary Uses (Early Start-Up) of HVAC Systems In Building Construction Projects – The Realities and Risks of Using Permanent HVAC Systems
SMACNA's document on Temporary Uses of HVAC Systems in Building Construction Projects outlines the realities and risks of using permanent heating, cooling and dehumidification equipment. It is intended for contractors to use in discussions with owners and general contractors. Also included are recommendations for contractors when responding to requests for early start-up of equipment for heating, cooling or moisture removal.
