It was a dark and stormy night that dawned to a hot and muggy day. The building, a low-rise commercial structure with retail and office occupants, has a chilled-water cooling system. The primary tenant just moved into the building in January. The carpets and curtains were cleaned, and some redecorating took place - the marble and granite look very nice - but no system maintenance was performed.
The HVAC contractor who previously did work for this building's owner has gone out of business. No further information is available about the company or its owner. No maintenance logs are available for this building's equipment. Based on the appearance of the mechanical room, not much maintenance had been performed in recent history - parts seem to have been replaced. This information was based on the building owner's invoice records.
