Local considerations in Alaska
- Winter snow and freezing temperatures make snow and ice management, heating checks and pipe-freeze prevention part of the program.
- Seasonal start-ups for heating in the fall and cooling in the spring keep equipment ready before demand peaks.
- Work is scheduled around trading hours, building rules and landlord requirements at each site.
