Skymark Heat Pumps

Ever wonder why this piece of equipment came with no written documentation describing maintenance, operation, or warranty?
The most common model used in this building does not even appear on Skymark's website.
A serviceman told me only to use the cheapest filters available, since specialty filters impair functioning and ultimately cause the unit to fail.
He also said never to run the cooling option for prolonged periods of time, and especially not to run it on high speed for more than few minutes. The condenser can freeze up, fail, and damage your equipment and that of your neighbour below when it thaws.
Who knew?
(This was Edilcan's first installation of heat pumps.)

Party Room

Would anyone like to see their party room open at certain times on a regular basis (when its not otherwise booked) to allow residents to meet casually?
Do you think we could be using our room for purposes other than the annual meeting, monthly board meetings, and private event bookings?
Do you think we are making full use of this amenity?

Energy Conservation

As of last October electricity costs here were $365.oo per day !
There are 19 lights in the 7th floor corridor,
24 lights in the 2nd
18 lights in the 9th
12 lights in the 14th.
And no I didn't go to every floor and count, but all of them everywhere are on high beam 24/7.
Is this necessary?
Do unoccupied corridors and spaces need to be lit?
Automatic dimmers? Motion sensors?
Could the disposal chute rooms be on motion sensor?
Ditto the elevators.
Do we really need 44 lights on non-stop in the gym? Can't even turn them off anywhere when you leave.
Could the air-conditioners in there have timer settings?
Has there been an energy audit?

911

Say you've called 911, but too bad, they can't save your life right now because they can't get inside the building.
Where is that concierge?
Maybe in the washroom, on patrol, or on their break.
