About this file
This document appears to be presentation slides regarding the classification of buildings connected to GSA's Heating Operations and Transmission Division (HOTD) steam and chilled water loop system. The slides categorize GSA-delegated and other buildings into three groups based on their feasibility to disconnect from HOTD: 1) buildings that already have full capacity boilers and are ready to disconnect, 2) buildings that could feasibly disconnect if funded, and 3) buildings facing significant challenges to disconnect. The document includes a detailed listing of 35 federal buildings with their square footage, ranging from small facilities like the 79 KSF US Court of Military Appeals to large ones like the 3,966 KSF FBI building.
The slides also outline key technical, funding and regulatory challenges associated with disconnecting buildings from HOTD. Technical constraints include limited building space for new systems, structural modification requirements, geothermal implementation challenges under the National Mall, and potential electric grid impacts. Funding challenges focus on appropriation availability and financial impacts to non-GSA customers. Regulatory constraints include compliance requirements with multiple authorities like the National Park Service, National Capital Planning Commission, Historic Preservation offices, and Buy American provisions.

Text version
These “GSA – delegated” or “Other” buildings have been classified into three (3) categories based on the feasibility of get out of the HOTD steam and chilled water loop.
CLASSIFICATION OF THE BUILDINGS
Feasibility of Decentralizing Existing Buildings on HOTD
BUILDINGS FEASIBLE TO GET OUT OF HOTD LOOP (if funded)
BUILDINGS HAVING SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE GET OUT OF HOTD LOOP
BUILDINGS ALREADY HAVE FULL CAPACITY BOILERS
AND READY TO GET OUT OF HOTD LOOP
PRE-DECISIONAL | CUI
Technical
• Limited building space available to accommodate necessary systems
• Impacts to facilities (structural modifications)
• Implementation challenges (e.g. geothermal under NPS-controlled National Mall)
• Potential impact and upgrade to electric grid
REGULATORY CONSTRAINTS
Challenges and Risks
Funding
• Availability of current funding through appropriation
• Source of funds for remaining implementation
• Impact to non-GSA customers
• GSA operational risk from a financial perspective
