On March 31, Engineered Systems presented the results of a Clear Seas Research survey that examined how architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms and mechanical systems companies are navigating their way through the coronavirus pandemic. The results, which were collected March 24-26, were eye-opening, as more than 40% of AEC companies shared they intend to temporarily suspend employees (with or without pay) due to the coronavirus. Additionally, 56% report a decrease in new business activities.
