Boiler Maintenance
New York State regulations require the equipment used to produce hot water and steam that is used to heat, cool, and humidify the campus to be internally inspected annually. To facilitate this inspection, we shut down, cool, drain and open the boilers on campus. We also make necessary tie-ins of new systems, replacements and repairs during this period to limit breakdowns during the times classes are in session.
During these periods, buildings may become hot if the chilled water supply is interrupted by the shut down, or too cold if the building air conditioners are running but the hot water used to temper the air entering the zone is not available. The degree of discomfort will be a function of the weather conditions that occur during the shut down period. Please do not schedule events for the affected buildings during this week.
Consequently, there is nothing that can be done by the operating engineers to alleviate any of the comfort issues that may arise. Please assist us during this busy period by refraining from calling the Operations Center with comfort related calls. We apologize in advance for any less than comfortable conditions that may occur in the affected buildings.
