As a result of the recent smoke particulate event, Facilities Services is preparing to move forward with a blanket HVAC filter replacement as well as the removal of ash from our intake and coil assemblies across the E&G campus. We will follow our standard notification protocols as we do when outages are required for routine preventive maintenance activities. The Work Control Center will communicate with each building (time and duration of each outage) before the work is done.
With Fall term starting in less than two weeks, Facilities Services is evaluating our human resource availability to determine options to reduce the duration of this effort. We hope to complete this project in 6-8 weeks.
Data:
- 80 E&G buildings having HVAC systems
- 435 air handling units (AHU)
- 4,200 filters and clips
Regardless of the available resources, all facilities cannot be completed at the same time. Facilities Services will prioritize this effort as follows:
- Systems experiencing filter alarms or failed filters
- Childcare/animal Facilities
- Science Facilities
- Buildings scheduled to be OPEN
- All others
Individual buildings may fall into any or all of these categories.
