Community Project Funding/Congressionally Directed Spending - Construction - The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center (The Center) will purchase an energy-efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to replace the hot water heating and condenser cooling systems installed in 2001. The HVAC system will provide climate control for The Center’s entire 30,000 square foot building which is utilized by 300,000 Center visitors and program clients annually. Upgrade benefits include: (a) lower electric, water, and sewage usage and expenses; (b) reduced carbon footprint and increased sustainability through the use of environmentally-friendly cooling refrigerants; (c) individual room temperature control; and (d) square footage gained from the removal of cast iron heaters/boilers. The HVAC system will also improve air filtration and circulation, which will reduce the spread of airborne contaminants, such as COVID-19.
