| | |
| | 1. M2.01: THE ACCESS DOOR FOR GEF-1 APPEARS TO BE IN |
| | CONFLICT WITH THE FAN HOUSING AND WILL NOT OPEN |
| | COMPLETELY. SEE FBC,M 306.5 FOR SERVICE ACCESS |
| | REQUIREMENTS. |
| | |
| | 2. M2.01: THE INTAKE LOUVER FOR GEF-1 IS SHOWN ON PLANS |
| | TO BE APPROXIMATELY 7' WIDE. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE 94 |
| | SQ.FT., AS NOTED ON PLANS, THE LOUVER WOULD NEED TO BE |
| | OVER 13 FEET TALL. IS THERE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE? FBC |
| | 106.1.2 |
| | |
| | 3. M2.01, M2.04, M2.07, M2.10, M2.13, M2.16: WHAT ARE |
| | THE ACTUAL DIMENSIONS OF THE INTAKE LOUVERS FOR THE |
| | GEF'S? WHY IS THE FREE AREA OF THE EXHAUST LOUVERS |
| | (23.375 SQ.FT) LESS THAN HALF THE AREA OF THE INTAKE |
| | LOUVERS AT THE FANS (51.7 SQ.FT)? ALSO, PLEASE SHOW HOW |
| | THE REQUIRED MINIMUM VENTILATION RATE (CONTINUOUS) OF |
| | 0.05 CFM PER SQ.FT. IS TO BE PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE |
| | WITH FBC,M 404.2. |

| | A MINIMUM OF 8 FEET ABOVE THE FLOOR. WHERE MOTOR |
| | VEHICLES EXCEED 6 FEET IN HEIGHT AND ARE CAPABLE OF |
| | PASSING UNDER AN APPLIANCE, APPLIANCES SHALL BE |
| | INSTALLED A MINIMUM OF 2 FEET HIGHER ABOVE THE FLOOR |
| | THAN THE HEIGHT OF THE TALLEST VEHICLE. |
| | EXCEPTION: THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION SHALL NOT |
| | APPLY WHERE THE APPLIANCES ARE PROTECTED FROM MOTOR |
| | VEHICLE IMPACT AND INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA |
| | 88B. |
| | |
| | 6. M2.01: PROVIDE WALL MOUNTING DETAIL FOR CU-T1 WHICH |

| | DESIGN TO CONVER THE SUPPLY DUCT SYSTEM FOR AHU-12 INTO |
| | A SMOKE EXHAUST DUCT WHEN THE AREA GOES INTO SMOKE |
| | CONTROL MODE? IF SO, THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WHICH |
| | NEED TO BE ADDRESSED: |
| | A) SUPPLY DUCT APPEARS TO BE A STANDARD DUCTBOARD AND |
| | FLEX SYSTEM. THIS TYPE OF DUCT MAY NOT BE USED FOR ANY |
| | TYPE OF EXHAUST PER FBC,M 501.4 AND MUST BE DESIGNED TO |
| | MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A SMOKE EXHAUST DUCT PER |
| | FBC,M 513.10.2. |
| | B) IF SUPPLY REGISTERS AND DIFFUSERS ARE TO BE USED FOR |
| | SMOKE EXHAUST, PLEASE PROVIDE SUBMITTAL DATA SHOWING |
| | THEIR SUITABILITY FOR USE IN A SMOKE EXHAUST SYSTEM. C) |
| | PLAN SHOWS FIRE DAMPERS IN SUPPLY DUCT WHICH APPEARS TO |
| | BE INTENDED FOR USE AS SMOKE EXHAUST DUCT. WHERE THE |
| | INSTALLATION OF A FIRE DAMPER WILL INTERFERE WITH THE |
| | OPERATION OF A REQUIRED SMOKE CONTROL SYSTEM IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 513, APPROVED ALTERNATIVE |
| | PROTECTION SHALL BE UTILIZED. FBC,M 607.2.1 |
| | D) WHAT IS THE AIR BALANCE DESIGN FOR THE DUCT SYSTEM |
| | WHEN IN SMOKE CONTROL MODE? FBC 106.1.2. IS THERE |
| | MAKE-UP AIR FOR THE 2000 CFM OF EXHAUST? |
| | E) PLEASE ALSO CHECK SMOKE EXHAUST DUCTS ON M2.05 TO |

| | |
| | 16. M2.06: THERE IS NO SEPARATION BETWEEN AREAS MARKED |

| | FIRE DAMPERS PER FBC,M 607.5. |
| | |
| | 17. M2.06: WHAT IS THE DESIGNATION, SIZE AND CFM OF |
| | RETURN GRILL IN THE 18X10 DUCT IN "STORAGE?" |

| | #5. |
| | |
| | 19. M2.07: ACORDING TO THE REFLECTIVE CEILING PLAN, THE |

| | 36X6) FOR SMOKE EXHAUST UNDER THESE CONDITIONS? HOW |
| | DOES THE FIRE WRAP INTERACT WITH THE RATED |
| | CORRIDOR/ELEVATOR LOBBY WALLS? HOW ARE THE OPENINGS AT |
| | THE END OF THE FIRE WRAP PROTECTED AT THE 36X6 GRILLS? |
| | THIS WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE UNPROTECTED OPENINGS IN A |
| | 2-HOUR SHAFT. THE OVERALL INTENT OF THE DESIGN OF THIS |
| | AREA IS UNCLEAR AND MAY BE LACKING COORDINATION WITH |
| | ARCHITECTURAL PLANS. |
