Life Safety/Generator
Class E fire alarm system is installed per local code. Three (3) fire pumps support the property. Standpipe hose outlets are located in the exit stair landing. The emergency generator system operates all exit signs, egress lighting, one elevator in each bank, the Class E system and fire pumps, as well as the telephone switch, and security console.
HVAC
Each floor in the tower, including floors 12 through 30, has a 40 ton air handling unit which supplies the interior zone with cooling and fresh air. The base has a 60 to 80 ton unit. The air handling units have variable frequency drives with a BMS overlay. The chilled water plant was upgraded in 2006 with two (2) new Carrier Model XLE 800 ton chillers. The building uses Con Edison steam for heating. The high pressure steam is stepped down and distributed to the heat exchangers to produce hot water.
Supplement HVAC
There are tenant condenser water rises capable of supplying 300 tons of supplemental cooling to the Tower floors. The cooling tower’s total capacity is 750 tons for tower tenants. A 4,000 ton cooling tower supplies supplemental cooling for floors SC1-11. The CW capacity to each tower’s floor can support 40 tons of supplemental cooling for tower tenants and 60-80 tons for floors SC1-11.
Electricity
Standby Emergency Generator
Two (2) 1,500 kW diesel fuel generators were installed in 2011 and one (1) 2,000 kW diesel fuel generator installed in 1996. The three (3) generators are supported by a 10,000 gallon diesel fuel storage tank. There is 1,000 kW of emergency power available for future tenant use. An additional 1,750 kW diesel fuel generator is available to tower tenants.
