The air conditioning system on the south half of Marble Arch is referred to as a chill water system. Some of the largest buildings and various facilities throughout the world utilize this type of system. Basically, water is heated or chilled and pumped through the air handling units of individual residences. Air is forced across a coil within these air handlers containing the conditioned water, and will vary the temperature of the residences to maintain the temperature selected on your individual thermostats. Multi-speed fans are utilized in the system which varies the rate at which the air is circulated throughout the individual residences. The selector for the fan speeds must be set on one of the various speeds in order to achieve any conditioning of the residence space. The thermostat should be set at the desired temperature; when the space reaches the pre-determined setting on the thermostat, the fan will stop. The air will not be circulated again until the thermostat senses the space is again needing additional conditioning. 20 Adopted 7/96
