John:

Once again, a reminder that nothing has been done to activate perimeter heating which is our primary means of heat distribution in the residential units. Enercon distribution of heat is only necessary when extreme winter temperature and wind conditions exist, and it is only then, that the Enercons are to be used for supplemental heating.

Prevention of use, is not a very responsible means of energy cost reduction.

Unfortunately, Board members nor the property manager apparently do not understand the primary/supplemental heating system that we have. It is now November, yet perimeter heating at Spadina Towers is not permitted.

I would ask that the perimeter heating be put into operation immediately. There is NO JUSTIFICATION for this irresponsible operation of our system. The only reason as suggested by many with qualified commentary, is that the Board continues this practise in an attempt to display energy cost reductions which have proven to be false and misleading to residents.

I would suggest that you act accordingly which would exclude consulting with the property manager or his employer, who have proven to be unqualified to comment on this matter.

It is suggested that the caretaker simply be instructed to activate sufficient levels of perimeter heating immediately, something all residents do understand and expect as a right and entitlement for which they pay dearly!
