anchor Description
The funding provides for the interim chiller replacement.
anchorEstimated Schedule
Chiller replacement equipment purchase programmed for FY23 with construction and installation expected in FY24.
anchor Justification
The Executive Office Building was built in 1979, and its HVAC system is over 40 years old. In 2006, the Department of General Services hired a consultant (URS Inc.) to conduct a condition assessment study to identify the condition of the HVAC system. The outcome of this study indicated that all equipment and components have reached the end of their economic life expectancy. Moreover, the existing all-electric heating system is highly inefficient and is costly to operate. The consultant study recommended that the entire HVAC system be redesigned with state-of-the-art technology, highly-efficient equipment, and be replaced in its entirety.
anchorFiscal Note
