The Directorate of Public Works is conducting the annual change-over process from

All facilities should have their air conditioning system properly operating by May

building occupants may experience some discomfort. Based on weather forecasts and
past history, this is the best time to do the conversion.
During the conversion period, please refrain from calling in service orders for “no
heat” or “no air conditioning” unless it is an emergency or in a facility that has been
designated as a Key Mission Critical Facility. DPW work crews will be diverted from
the above priorities only for emergency repair. In general, heat and air conditioning
emergencies are defined as instances in which indoor temperatures are below 55
degrees or above 90 degrees.
If you have such an emergency, please call (703) 696-3263/64/65. For additional
information call 703-696-3820.
