Re: HVAC Water Balancing
From: Walter Krolman, Property Manager
Date: 11 November 2002

In September you were informed of the Board of Director’s decision authorizing the Lauren’s service contractor (G&L Mechanical) to “balance” the closed loop water system. The intent is to provide a consistent amount of water flow to each tier. In turn the adjustments to water flow will hopefully yield comparable cooling and heating capabilities throughout the building.    

As you are also very well aware the initial schedule of September 23-25 was not able to be followed because of the discovery of faulty valves. In turn, the Board authorized the replacement of those valves. I am happy to report that this is now complete. 

G&L, and their agents, will now return to balance the closed loop system.      

The tentative schedule is as follows:   

Tuesday - November 12, 2002 - 9:00 onward
Wednesday - November 13, 2002 - 9:00 onward
Thursday - November 14, 2002 - 9:00 onward
Friday - November 15, 2002 - 9:00 onward (if necessary)

Please note that Lauren personnel will accompany the technician in all apartments.

G&L will be accessing the area by your convector which is currently exposed due to the recent valve replacement. There should be no additional construction/destruction during this aspect of the project. 

It is our intent to expedite both the balancing and the subsequent insulation of exposed pipes in order that restoration of 10th floor apartments can commence and conclude at the earliest possible moment. 

Thank you for your understanding, assistance and cooperation!
