As regards the central heating/air conditioning system that services the Lauren please be aware of the following tentative schedule:
   
March 13 Lauren maintenance began to service convectors (Monday thru Friday). Because of safety concerns, heat is turned off during day and reactivated in late afternoon. Additional notice will be forthcoming as your floor is due to be serviced. This process works from the top floor downward and should be completed by April 7th.
   
March 27 Boilers that provide heat are turned off. If, because of unseasonably cold weather, heat is required they can and will be reactivated. During this period (when the boilers are off) you may still use your fan for circulation, but the air will not be heated.
   
April 3 (Or when weather conditions indicate that heating is no longer foreseeable) McQuay Service, our HVAC contractor, and Wayne Hall, the association engineer will valve the system over to air conditioning positions/settings. Other various components (e.g.. cooling tower) will have already been prepared for the cooling season. When this occurs heat is no longer available.
   
April 10 As daily weather conditions (heat/humidity) dictate air conditioning will be activated/deactivated. Continuous running of the air conditioning system usually takes place by early May and continues until mid October.
   
We are aware that the vagaries of the weather, this year more than normal, and the necessity of performing required preventative maintenance make it difficult to maintain ideal interior climatic conditions. This is especially true given the fact of a central system that cannot instantaneously be interchanged between heat and air conditioning. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience that you may experience. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have as regards the transition from heat to air conditioning as detailed above.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE LAUREN BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS APPROVED THE INSTALLATION OF A TRANSITIONAL HVAC SYSTEM. THIS WILL ALLOW THE CENTRAL SYSTEM TO BE INTERCHANGED BETWEEN HEAT AND AIR CONDITIONING IN RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGES IN A MANNER THAT IS MORE EXPEDIENT THAN THAT WHICH CURRENTLY EXISTS. THIS SYSTEM WILL IMPACT UPON THE ABOVE PROJECTED TIMING. A NOTICE WILL BE CIRCULATED WHEN THE NEW SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONAL.
