Discussion 4

Dear Project Manager-

I am starting to worry about the heating and cooling system for the office area. The way we do business is rapidly changing and more and more computer equipment is needed. What can we do to ensure that the cooling system will be able to handle more equipment that gives off heat in the space?

Regards-Owner
