Temporary Climate Control Supports the Rise of the U.S. Commercial Construction Industry

TEMPORARY CLIMATE CONTROL SUPPORTS THE RISE OF THE US COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY Projections show that the commercial construction industry is slated to grow over the next two years. While unexpected delays are commonly associated with construction projects, the weather is one delay that proves tough to tackle. Commercial construction managers should consider temporary climate control to manage climate induced moisture problems and keep their project on schedule. COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION FORECAST FOR 2014 & 2015 Commercial Total Industrial Total Institutional Total 2014 (+10.3%) 2015 (+10.8%) 2014 (+7.8%) 2015 (+8.7%) 2014 (+3.4%) 2015 (+6.3%) MARKET SEGMENT GROWTH FORECASTS FOR 2014 & 2015 Hotels Office Industrial Healthcare Education Buildings Facilities Facilites 2014 (+13.1%) (+9.2%) (+7.8%) (+5.2%) (+2.8%) 2015 (+9.2%) (+10.8%) (+8.7%) (+7.8%) (+5.8%) TEMPORARY CLIMATE CONTROL & CONSTRUCTION DRYING Temporary climate control focused on construction drying converts an uncontrollable environment into a controllable one by preventing moisture and temperature related delays. ACCELERATE CONCRETE SLAB DRYING STAY ON SCHEDULE COST REDUCTION FOR CONCRETE SEALING IMPROVED INDOOR WHY DRY? MOISTURE CONTROL & TOTAL CLIMATE CONTROL ARE KEY AIR QUALITY 3 ACCELERATE PAINT AND PLASTER DRYING SAFE, COMFORTABLE WORK ENVIRONMENT (Joint compound drying=faster drywall installs) 5 DRY FIREPROOFING COAT CURING WHERE OTHER METHODS FALL SHORT... Climate Control: Heating or Cooling Only Heating and cooling only solve part of the problem Major fuel cost Under part load conditions Does NOT Construction Section 01 50 00 manager pays for equipment & fuel that are Temporary facilities and Control is not fully addressed manage moisture equipment is unable to content in air being unused part of the year maintain control O POLY WET WORK: WHAT HARM CAN A LITTLE DAMPNESS DO? A construction site without a moisture control plan can produce the following negative effects... Proliferation of mold growth Corrosion of wiring, pipes and other metalwork Chemical breakdown of glues and adhesives Warped wood finishes Poor flooring adhesion Structural deterioration - O POLYGON www.polygongroup.com/us Copyright © POLYGON | Infographic designed by Mad Fish SEO Polygon's climate control solutions are designed to manage moisture and temperature and minimize energy consumption during the construction process. Polygon offers a cost analysis, along with job site evaluation. We will demonstrate the effectiveness and energy savings available with the utilization of a climate solution for construction drying.
