HVAC SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Stand-alone control units are networked throughout the building to provide coordinated control and optimization. Dell computers are used in conjunction with the control network to provide mass storage reports of building information and graphical interface for commanding and monitoring.
CITYPLACE I is served by four main fan systems that supply air to both variable air and fan coil units on each floor. Purchased chilled water is pumped through the main fan system's chilled water coils for cooling. Steam, which is also purchased, is used to heat water that is pumped through the fan coil units on each floor for heating. Space temperature is maintained by thermostats that are located in various locations on each floor.
In addition to the capabilities of the HVAC system, chilled water is also available for the supplementary cooling of computer systems, telephone equipment, or other specialclient spaces.
The ability of the HVAC system to properly heat and cool the building is closely dependent upon proper air circulation. Allclients are advised to keep their blinds down and not to tamper with thermostats. Prior to office renovations or build-outs, the Management Office will advise you of potential air distribution interruptions associated with specific office construction plans.

The building heating/air conditioning equipment requires special maintenance to ensure its continued problem-free role.Paradigm Propertiesprovides an on-going preventive maintenance program designed to maximize the energy efficiency of the system. Such maintenance requires periodic visits through your space; all visits shall be coordinated with the designated building contact to minimize the disruption to your staff.
