JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. –
The 11th Civil Engineer Squadron will initiate an installation-wide "No Heat/No Cool" period to assist them in switching heating, ventilation and air conditioning units from cooling to heating modes. The start date for this period will be Oct. 15 with an anticipated completion date of Nov. 15 or later, weather permitting. During this "No Heat/No Cool" period, HVAC technicians will complete all equipment servicing and startup preparations. Additionally, based on last year's data, Team Joint Base Andrews was able to conserve 45,000 kilowatt-hours throughout the period for a savings of $36,000 in electric cost and 1.8 million British thermal units in natural gas cost for an additional $11,500 for a combined total of $47,500 in savings that 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 and housing will be exempt. Patience and understanding from base residents while this is being accomplished will be greatly appreciated.
