Work in Progress Buildings and Labs
Phase 2-3: Duct Cleaning/Pre-Construction
Overview of Duct Cleaning:
• All supply air duct work will be cleaned except in the vivarium
• Interior supply air duct lining will be encapsulated
• Supply diffusers and exhaust grilles will be cleaned
• All supply air post-filters and obstructions will be removed
Duct Cleaning Impacts to Building Occupants:
• Duct cleaning will start at night and stopped in the early morning
• Supply air will be shut off on a nightly basis (vivarium will remain on)
• Temperature sensitive spaces, equipment may be affected
• Animals, flies will not have temperature control while air is off
• Unsafe to work while supply air is turned off
