No significance to office applications. A memo on this subject is on the Y2K web site. Ashburton Place can generate 550 kW of power for safety, lighting, elevators, and fire protection system long enough for the building to be evacuated safely. In addition, Ashburton Place has a 1750kW generator which will be used to run CSB network equipment on the 8 th floor, and a limited number of other agencies' critical equipment on other floors, as well as a limited set of building systems. BSOB plan to tie the 1750 generator to the 550 generator's circuit, and abandon the 550.
All BSOB elevators are compliant as long as power is available.
The BSOB elevators are not date related. K compliant Contingency Planning for the State House is underway. On Saturday, June 12, there will be a controlled power shutdown to test emergency power connections, and the networks and the wiring that transfers the power. The UPS system must be in place to carry the power. There are no date-related concerns as far as BSOB running the building itself.
