Services Impacted:

  • During this work, airflow will be lessened substantially, but some will remain (in hoods, general building exhaust, etc.) as the ductwork is interconnected. However, we do not recommend using fume hoods or other equipment tied into the exhaust system during this work as appropriate airflows will not be provided.
  • Also, while the exhaust flow is lessened, there will be minor positive pressure fluctuations until the system is returned to normal operation.
    The north side fans will be shut down on 9/19/23 10/10/23, with the south side fans to follow on 9/20/23 10/11/23. Both shutdowns will be for a full days’ time, with each fan coming back online the following day, individually.

Services Impacted:

Overall outage effects to consider are:

  • It will begin at 7:00 am and end at 12:00 noon (5 hour duration)
  • For the 1st hour, all power to the building will go down (110v, 208v, and 480v service)

  • Between the 1st hour and the electrical work completion time listed above, no HVAC systems will be operating via the controls systems, but the BAS crew will be monitoring systems and making manual adjustments to reduce any risks to your operations.
  • Once the electrical work is completed, and in order to make final connections, the electrical system will go down once more for up to 1 hour.
  • Once the connections have been made all electrical service will be back in place.

We are aware that this is an inconvenience and we will do all we can to expedite the work and accommodate any needs you might have while power is limited. Thank you for your understanding and assistance as we move through this process.

Special Instructions:  Please shut down and unplug all multi-function copier devices as well as any printers during scheduled power outages. The software on these machines can be negatively affected due to the power surge when the power is turned back on.  A power surge can corrupt the clone files in the machines and change preconfigured settings.  For questions, please contact Kati Kronholm at 541-346-5370 or katik@uoregon.edu.  For non-copier questions, please reach out to the contact person listed below.

8/22/23 Klamath Hall Lab Exhaust Fans Shutdown

Posted on by jepeters

Begin:  Tuesday, August 22, 2023, at 8:00 am

End:      Tuesday, August 22, 2023, at 2:00 pm

Building(s) or Area(s) Affected:  Klamath Hall

Scope:  As part of the Klamath LEF/VFD upgrade, the mechanical contractor will be shutting down lab exhaust fans sequentially in order to take field measurements required for proper equipment sizing. During this work, airflow will be lessened substantially, but some will remain (in hoods, general building exhaust, etc.) as the ductwork is interconnected. However, we do not recommend using fume hoods or other equipment tied into the exhaust system during this work as appropriate airflows will not be provided.
Also, while the exhaust flow is lessened, there will be minor positive pressure fluctuations until the system is returned to normal operation.
The fans system is split to serve the north (EF1&2) and south (EF-3&4) side of the buildings, and within the attached spreadsheet you will be able to see which rooms will be affected during the course of this (and future) shutdowns.
The listed timespan is assumed to be accurate, but we will attempt to expedite the work as much as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.

Services Impacted:  This will affect the exhaust system serving the basement, ground level, 1st, and 2nd floors.

Special Instructions:  Fume hood sashes should be closed and containers within the fume hoods sealed prior to this date.
