Modern systems like ductless split systems with variable refrigerant and chilled beam can work in tight spaces. <br /><br />Another idea that may make the space easier to take advantage of and lease out as premium offices or condos would be to remove some floors and make some areas in the interior of the building high-ceiling loft spaces. Steps would have to be taken to replace the load-bearing responsibility of the removed floors, but with enough columns and support attached to the skeleton of the building, it should be possible. This would give a architects and engineers the freedom to design more traditional HVAC systems for certain floors, and again, bring in higher rents for parts of the building. <br /><br />The problem is that, no matter if the technologies are available to do these things, they will cost a lot of money. No one has incentive to shell that out until the land-lease and ownership situations are finally resolved.

I trust they'll figure something out.Divers and Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759655568104782267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28337090.post-37400508750151508492015-06-03T21:38:52.848-07:002015-06-03T21:38:52.848-07:00Too bad that what sounds like such an attractive b...Too bad that what sounds like such an attractive building is just standing there, deteriorating. Hopefully, someone will take it on, and hopefully, it will become publically accessible.Viktoria Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608160759512904861noreply@blogger.com
