Tools for Visibility | Polygon’s Ultimate Toolkit for Jobsite Climate Control

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. Let’s look at some of the considerations of the tools available.

Handheld Devices
Off-the-shelf Sensors
Standalone Rental Equipment
Real-time Connected Systems

Things to consider:

Dedicated personnel
Equipment has been selected based on historical weather data rather than real-time conditions on-site
May run unnecessarily with no control parameters, requiring more fuel/energy usage
Manual and often delayed adjustment of equipment
Prone to human error or inconsistencies
Turned off or modified by trades working in the area
Can result in using more or inefficient equipment

Things to consider:

Hands-off, requiring minimum personnel
Alerts on real-time conditions, equipment status, and operation
Automatic on/off of equipment based on user specs, reducing energy/carbon consumption
Custom live dashboards and reports can be easily and quickly shared with all stakeholders
Insight is available to people on/off the job site (desktop and mobile apps)
Sensors can move to new locations as the project progresses
Data can be viewed alongside other advanced sensor types like IAQ, leak sensors
Allows for more proactive management and risk avoidance
Can accelerate planning and scheduling decisions
Creates visibility/accountability for material and subcontractor performance
Provides a continuous historical record of conditions to protect warranties and insurance
