HVAC
The HVAC systems at 1050 Thomas Jefferson Street are comprised of an arrangement of VAV's and hot water heating zones. The system is controlled by a central operator's terminal in the engineer's office and is monitored 24-hours a day by the Tenant Service Center. Variable air volume (VAV) systems reduce the energy consumed by fans and allow greater dehumidification making the building feel more comfortable. The system is hydraulic and uses water to control temperatures. Cool air is provided by a cooled direct expansion. Warm air is supplied by electric hot water radiators. Each floor has separate VAV and hot water heating zones.
Should you have any problem with temperature levels in your office space, please submit a service request through JBG SMITH Connect so the Building Engineers can quickly resolve your problem.
Unusually large amounts of heat-generating office equipment (personal computers, servers, copy machines, etc.) may also affect the efficiency of the HVAC system and may require a supplemental system to achieve a comfortable temperature.
Electric heaters or fans are not permitted. Aside from being in violation of jurisdictional regulations and a fire hazard, they compromise the integrity of the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system.
