The following is a general description of the building’s main mechanical systems with instructions for their efficient operation.
Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning
- Heating (Perimeter and Radiators)
Each Tenant floor is fitted with a two-pipe steam radiator system mounted to the perimeter wall of the building from floor to window.
Steam is automatically supplied to the system in accordance with outside air temperature. To maintain comfortable conditions, heating is typically provided during the months of November to April. As an energy conservation measure, during off-business hours the temperature is lowered.
- Air-Conditioning
Separately controlled, air-cooled air-conditioning units, mounted throughout the building provide cooling during normal business hours.
- Ventilation
Ventilation is provided by the Tenant’s controlled packaged air-conditioning systems located throughout the building and by windows.
- Air-Conditioning Operation
Tenant controlled.
Supplemental Equipment
At 1359 Broadway, equipment maintenance plays a very important and crucial part of our operation.
No supplementary equipment of any kind which interfaces with our main building systems such as any supplemental air-conditioning equipment, any additions to our Class “E” System, UPS installations or the installation of an emergency generator for a Tenants’ sole use may be installed without the express, written permission of the Landlord. Tenants are also required to arrange maintenance agreements for any such equipment. These maintenance agreements also must be cleared in advance with Building Management. Should you require assistance in the placement of any of these maintenance programs, our Building Management would be more than happy to assist you in this area.
Once a maintenance contract has been placed, it is imperative that you provide Building Management with a copy. Thereafter, whenever the contract is renewed, provide Building Management with a copy of the renewal document as well.
