READING, MODIFICATION, ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF THE AUGUST 23, 2004 MEETING
The Board approved the minutes as a true record of the meeting.
SPECIAL PURPOSE MEETING
Professional Presentation: Engineering Consultant Jack McNabb
Under a maximum cooling load conditions, the sensible heat goal is 75 degrees with 95 degrees outside temperature.
One of the major problems identified by both the survey and the consultant is the poor or malfunctioning of various in unit thermostats, motors and registers. Several are not working. These are the responsibilities of unit owners, but owners need information about what could be done. The Board asked that a list of precise items with estimated prices of recommended replacements for motors, electric thermostats and registers with opposable blade dampers be prepared.
The consultant and survey also showed that the primary issue is in the 04 unit. Two general approaches were proposed. One involved replacing the cooling units and pipes; the other installing windows and tinting which would reduce the ambient temperature and the water temperature. Units might then connect their bedroom units with the living room unit.
The board asked for a general cost estimate for the two options.
Specific, short term actions.
- Close the exhaust fans on in the corridors
- Rebalance the water
- Check air handlers for hall ways and garage
- Reset system for the heat in the summer.
- Check with the manufacturer about the noise problem.
The report is available from the manager.
