COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – Branch County Commission on Aging Director Amy Duff told the Branch County Board of Commissioners Tuesday that the H.V.A.C. system at the Burnside Senior Center is still not working, but a solution may have been found.
Duff said the contractor has determined there is an issue with the software in the computer system. They are waiting for the new software and it’s hope that will fix the problem once and for all.
Several heating and cooling issues have taken place at the Burnside Center following last year’s renovation project and possible legal action was discussed during a Commissioners meeting last month.
The improperly functioning HVAC system had created such a strong pressure imbalance that the membrane of the flat roof was damaged after it inflated.
Duff said last month that the biggest issue centered around the transducers which converts energy from one form to another.
Carrier manufactured the HVAC units while CARMI Design Group out of Edwardsburg provided architectural and construction management services for the project.
On another matter during Tuesday’s meeting, Commissioners gave formal approval to have the Commission on Aging partner with ProMedica Coldwater Regional Hospital to offer a lunch program for $5 per lunch on a RSVP basis. The lunches will be offered to patrons on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
