1)
During the shoulder season when heating
may be required, Make Up Air units that are fed by Primary Boilers can be left
in a heating mode while the fan-coils in the suites are switched over to
cooling. With a cooler Spring appearing likely, this will allow you to provide
some heat in the corridors while providing cooling insuite.
2)
Glycol – make sure that when draining
coils of glycol to recover all of the glycol in clean storage containers. Do
not let the glycol flow into the building mains.
3)
Basement Loops (Miscellaneous Heating
Loops) that are fed from the Heating / Cooling Mains need to be manually shut
down during the summer to prevent condensation in enclosed spaces.
4)
Do an inspection of the Cooling Tower
well before your changeover date. With the ice storm, it is possible that parts
of the Tower may have experienced some damage due to heavy ice.
5)
Make
sure that outside, electrically heated areas are shut down for the summer or
that the controlling thermostats are set to a minimum set-point a couple of
degrees above freezing.
6)
Remember to call Provident Energy
during your changeover. Unless the Energy Management System is commanded to the
cooling mode, HVAC systems will not operate properly.
