GSA Addresses Cooling Outage Affecting Multiple Federal Buildings in Washington D.C.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is responding to an operational interruption at the 90-year-old Heating Operation and Transmission Division (HOTD) plant, which has disrupted air-conditioning services in numerous federal facilities across Washington, D.C. Affected buildings include the Departments of Agriculture and Energy, as well as several Smithsonian museums. GSA teams are actively working to resolve the issue and restore cooling capabilities.
