Inspection was made to confirm that active VIMS is operating as designed. Although
unable to access active rooftop fans on the western building, or the attic fans in the
eastern building, vacuum influence measurements were measured at four representative
locations within the western building (leasing office, common area, tenant space, and
occupied retail space. In addition, two locations within eastern building were measured
