'No Heat, No Cool' fall 2018

By 11th Civil Engineer Squadron

JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. -- The 11th Civil Engineer Squadron will initiate an installation-wide "No Heat/No Cool" period from Oct. 15 – Nov. 15, 2018, weather permitting, to assist in switching heating, ventilation and air conditioning units from cooling to heating modes.

During this period, HVAC technicians will complete all equipment servicing and startup preparations.  

Last year, Team Andrews was able to save $53,330 in electric and natural gas consumption. These savings can potentially be re-invested into base operations.

During the downtime, only mission critical facilities, command and control facilities, child development centers, critical server rooms, critical utilities and housing will be exempt.

Patience and understanding from base residents while this is being accomplished will be greatly appreciated.

Contact 11 CES customer service at 301-981-5151 with any questions.
