Not suggesting it was the case, just giving my interpretation of Tom's post. But interesting to hear nonetheless.
Although now I'm curious, can heat be turned on floor by floor before the tower is fully enclosed? i.e. are floors reasonably insulated from each other? I was under the impression on taller buildings that work begins finishing lower units before the entire tower is enclosed.
There are multiple heating sources that help keep entire building warm. From the state of this building the mech penthouse is operational so the make up air unit is pumping warm air throughout each corridor, this alone is enough to keep an enclosed building ok. Depending on what stage the suites are they will have their fancoil/heatpump units on where suites are at final stage. Upper floors they could be using electric or gas heaters through the winter.
