Nam and Anna on the call.
1) Mechanical Phase 2
- Ventilation fire damper actuators should arrive this week
- Control sub-contractor reviewing VFD requirements in a site inspection Tue afternoon
- Exhaust fan replacement being spec’d this week, possible sign-off approval by Friday
- Information flow between Bruce (Lefler) and Jeff (Patriot) is good
2) Water Testing
- This week should be dry (no rain), so water testing can proceed end of this week
- The building seems to be pretty water tight. Ongoing issues:
- 203: window leaks cause window sill puddling
- 204: slow drip from lighting hanger
- 402: leak through vent penetration
3) Window Leak Remediation
- Long discussion re addressing leaking operable windows on the Sumner/Clementina sides
- Replacing OEM bulb gaskets is time-consuming (1-2 hours per) and of arguable value because the new gasket is not very different from the old one
- Lee (re)proposed a multi-step solution for review and approval:
- a) align operable pane to fit as evenly and tightly as possible against the mating frame
- b) add additional weep holes to improve drainage rate
- c) water test the window. If it still leaks, replace the bulb gasket.
- d) water test the window. If it still leaks, add a second surface-mount sealing strip.
- Long-term durability of a second sealing strip is not good, so (d) would require replacement every few years

- New glass is installed
- Nam will complete sealing this week
