The commercial boilers and chiller provide conditioned air to the offices and visitor center which contain museum property that requires conditioned air and specific humidity levels to protect government property. Additionally, the offices support nearly 20 DOI staff who report to the office daily. Without conditioned air, high humidity levels in the building will lead to rapid mold and mildew growth which will cost the government more funds for cleaning and remediation. The chiller was warrantied by Johnson Controls Inc (JCI). Several HVAC companies are either not registered in SAM.gov or are not certified to work on York/JCI Chillers or Lochinvar boilers.
