If the fans stop running condensation can accumulate quickly, so quick response time is required to avoid such conditions. The shift from automatic, operable windows to manual operable windows will require greater attention in operating the facility.

Commissioning
The commissioning process is ongoing. It is the team’s expectation that, even though formal commissioning is complete, the building needs to operate through all four seasons and an annual campus cycle to fully tune the systems.

Post-Occupancy
The building is in a one-year process of measurement and verification as part of the Living Building Challenge, which requires a full year of documented net-zero operations prior to certification. The results will be available in May 2010.
