HVAC System

Air Conditioned Building with Seasonal Transitioning

Washington Hall operates on a seasonal heating and cooling schedule, with transitions typically occurring in April and October. Depending on the season, heated or chilled water circulates through the pipes to regulate room temperature. Each unit is equipped with an air handler for air circulation, with filters changed three times a year, and a wall-mounted thermostat allowing residents to adjust the mode, fan speed, and temperature setting.
