The Kratos, and Phoenix systems in these building do not always reset themselves during a power outage. The only way to make sure that they return to full working order is to shut them down correctly prior to the outage. If this cannot be done because as you suggest our guys do not know where things are located or can’t get access to the buildings then shame on us as a university. I do not believe this to be the case. These guys are in these buildings daily and should know where everything is located. These building (SERC, SR1, SR2, HSC, etc.) can become a huge safety risk if the supply air and exhaust systems are not restored to proper working order. If we cannot properly man this shutdown then it needs to be delayed until it can. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Chang, Mei M <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, July 11, 2013 7:59 PM<br><b>To:</b> Bushman, Mark; Guffey, Danny<br><b>Cc:</b> Burriello, Michael L; Keilbach, Karl<br><b>Subject:</b> RE: University Center Transformation - main electrical connection outages</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Mark, Danny,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='color:#1F497D'>I copy the supervisors of the mechanical and electrical shops for this discussion.

I can also imagine the question about access, as often sensitive equipment are in limited access areas.
