| | FBC 2001 CODE FAMILY |
| | FBC CH.1 AS AMENDED BY THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | |
| | NOTE: THERE HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AS WELL AS |
| | PAGES ADDED TO PLANS. THE LEVEL OF CHANNGES REQUIRES A |
| | THOROUGH REVIEW OF MECHANICAL PLANS IN THEIR ENTIRETY. |
| | ANY COMMENT FROM PREVIOUS REVIEWS NOT REPEATED IN THIS |
| | REVIEW SHALL BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE BEEN ADEQUATELY |
| | ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | 1. M15.01 THRU M15.03: R/A JUMPERS FROM BEDROOMS ARE |
| | NOT SIZED TO MEET THE BALANCED R/A EXCEPTIONS OF FBC,M |
| | 601.4. ALL DROPS INTO A MASTER SUITE SHALL BE INCLUDED |
| | PER EXCEPTION #3. THE MINIMUM SIZE JUMPER NEEDED FOR 7 |
| | INCH AND 4 INCH ROUND DROPS IS 77 SQUARE INCHES. THE 9 |
| | INCH ROUND SHOWN ON PLANS PROVIDES 63.6 SQUARE INCHES. |
| | A MINIMUM 10 INCH ROUND DUCT IS REQUIRED TO MEET |
| | EXCEPTION #1. UNLESS JUMPERS AND TRANSFERS ARE DESIGNED |
| | TO MEET THESE EXCEPTIONS, A FIELD TEST WILL BE REQUIRED |
| | AT FINAL INSPECTION TO VERIFY A DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE |
| | OF 0.01 IN. W.C. OR LESS ACROSS THE CLOSED DOOR IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION. |
| | |
| | 2. M15.01 THRU M15.03: NOTE 10 TABLE FOR TRANSFER |
| | GRLLS, SIZES SHOWN ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH FBC,M |
| | 601.4 EXCEPTION #2. SEE COMMENT 1 ABOVE FOR |
| | REQUIREMENTS IF TRANSFERS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO MEET THE |
| | EXCEPTIONS UNDER THIS SECTION. |
| | |
| | 3. M15.01 THRU M15.03: KEY NOTE #9, NO INFORMATION WAS |
| | PROVIDED REGARDING DRYERS OR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
| | AS STATED IN THE NOTE. PROVIDE INFORMATION NEEDED TO |
| | SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH FBC,M 501.4 AND KEY NOTE #9. |
| | |
| | 4. M15.01: THE CONFIGURATION OF THE AC CLOSET IN |
| | APARTMENT A3 IS DIFFERENT FROM THE TYPICAL MOUNTING |
| | DETAIL SHOWN ON M15.22. PROVIDE DETAIL FOR THIS |
| | INSTALLATION SHOWING HOW DUCTED RETURN TO GRILL (SEE |
| | NOTE 6 ON M15.01) WILL WORK WITH A WATER HEATER UNDER |
| | THE AHU. ALSO, SHOW HOW O.A. DUCT IS TO TERMINATE IN |
| | CLOSET. |
| | |
| | 5. M15.01 THRU M15.03: ALL APARTMENTS EXCEPT A3 CALL |
| | FOR FULLY LOUVERED DOORS ON A/C CLOSETS FOR RETURN AIR. |
| | ARCHITECTURAL FLOOR PLANS A5.50 THRU A5.53 SHOW DOORS |
| | AS U02 AND U-18. DOOR SCHEDULE ON A-9.02 SHOWS THESE TO |
| | BE "J" TYPE DOORS, WHICH ARE SOLID 6-PANEL DOORS. |
| | COORDINATE PLANS AND SHOW HOW AIR IS TO BE RETURNED TO |
| | A/C CLOSETS. FBC,M 601.4 |
| | |
| | 6. M15.04: FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR AREAS, BASED ON LIFE |
| | SAFETY PLANS A1.20 AND A1.21 ALONG WITH FLOOR PLANS |
| | A5.07 AND A5.71 THERE ARE NUMEROUS LOATIONS WHERE DUCTS |
| | ARE PENETRATING RATED WALL ASSEMBLIES. SHOW OPENING |
| | PROTECTIVES AT ALL LOCATIONS WHERE DUCTS PENETRATE |
| | RATED ASSEMBLIES. BE SURE TO COOORDINATE WITH |
| | ARCHITECTURAL PLAND. FBC,M 607.1.2 AND 607.6 |
| | |
| | 7. M15.05 THRU M15.08 AND M15.11: KEY NOTE #1 CALLS FOR |
| | 3/4 INCH PVC FROM EACH AHU TO CONDENSATE RISER. PVC |
| | SHALL NOT BE LOCATED IN A/C CLOSETS USED AS PLENUMS PER |
| | FBC,M 602.2.1. ALSO, CONDENSATE LINES AS SHOWN ON PLANS |
| | WILL REQUIRE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN ELEVATION TO |
| | MAINTAIN A UNIFORM ALIGNMENT AND SLOPE IN ACCORDANCE |
| | WITH FBC,M 307.2.2 DUE TO THE LONG HORIZONTAL RUNS |
| | SHOWN IN GARAGE AREA. PROVIDE AN ELEVATION VIEW DETAIL |
| | SHOWING THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS CONFIGURATION WHILE |
| | TAKING INTO ACCOUNT STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS AND REQUIRED |
| | CLEARANCES IN THE GARAGE. THE AREA CHOSEN FOR THIS |
| | DETAIL SHOULD INCORPORATE A "WORST CASE" CONDITION. FBC |
| | 104.2.1.2 |
| | |
| | 8. M15.22: CONDENSATE TRAP DETAIL FOR NON-DUCTED RETURN |
| | UNITS, THE SECONDARY DRAIN LINE FROM THE AUXILIARY |
| | DRAIN PAN SHALL NOT BE CONNECTED TO THE PRIMARY |
| | CONDENSATE RISER. A SEPARATE DRAIN LINE SHALL EXTEND |
| | FROM THE PAN TO A CONSPICUOUS POINT AND SERVE AS AN |
| | ALARM WHICH INDICATES THAT THE PRIMARY DRAIN IS |
| | RESTRICTED.AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO A SEPARATE DRAIN |
| | LINE, AN APPROVED WATER LEVEL DETECTOR OR FLOAT SWITCH |
| | DEVICE SHALL BE USED TO CONTROL OVERFLOW BY |
| | AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING DOWN THE EQUIPMENT OR APPLIANCE |
| | THAT PRODUCES THE CONDENSATE. THE FLOAT SWITCH ON THE |
| | SECONDARY DRAIN OUTLET AT THE AHU MAY BE INSTALLED |
| | (ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT NECESSARY) BUT IT CAN NOT REPLACE |
| | THE SEPARATE SECONDARY DRAIN LINE OR THE FLOAT SWITCH |
| | REQUIRED ON THE AUXILIARY DRAIN PAN. THE FLOAT SWITCH |
| | ON THE SECONDARY DRAIN OUTLET AT THE AHU IS ACCEPTABLE |
| | AS OVERFLOW PROTECTION ONLY ON THE DUCTED RETURN UNITS |
| | WHERE AN AUXILIARY DRAIN PAN CAN NOT BE INSTALLED UNDER |
| | THE AHU. FBC,M 307.2.3 AND 307.2.4 |
| | |
| | 9. M15.22: DUCT SUPPORT DETAIL INDICATES 1/2 INCH WIDE |
| | 22GA SUPPORTS ON FLEX DUCT. THE MATERIAL SUPPORTING |
| | FLEX DUCT SHALL NOT BE LESS THAN 1 1/2 INCHES WIDE. |
| | FBC,M 603.5.6.6(6). |
| | |
| | 10. M15.22: CONDENSING UNIT DETAIL CALLS FOR 1/4 INCH |
| | CABLES TIED TO THE CONDENSER AND THE BEAM WITH 3/8 INCH |

| | APPLICATION. ALSO, INDICATE ON PLANS THE WIND SPEED TO |
| | WHICH THIS CONNECTION DETAIL IS DESIGNED. FBC,M 301.13 |
| | AND FBC CH.16 |
| | |
| | 11. M15.22: TYPICAL AHU DETAIL, PROVIDE MANUAL VOLUME |
| | DAMPER AT OUTDOOR AIR DUCT IN CLOSET PER FBC |
| | 13-409.1.ABCD.2. |
| | |
| | 12. M15.23: PROVIDE OUTDOOR AIR CALCULATIONS FOR |
| | DWELLING UNITS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBC,M TABLE 403.3. |
| | |
| | 13. M15.21: FIRE PUMP ROOM, PROVIDE SUBMITTAL AND |
| | INSTALLATION DETAIL FOR THE DIESEL STORAGE TANK. ALSO, |
| | PROVIDE DETAIL FOR THE DIESEL ENGINE EXHAUST WITH |
| | DISCHARGE LOCATION. STATIONARY LIQUID FUELED INTERNAL |
| | COMBUSTION ENGINES, INCLUDING FUEL STORAGE AND PIPING |
| | SHALL BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA 37-94. SEE |
| | FBC,M 915.1 AND 915.2. |
| | |
| | 14: ENERGY: THERE WERE TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF |
| | CALCULATIONS SUBMITTED. FORM 400A-2004 V2.5 IS NOT |
| | VALID AS THIS PROJECT IS UNDER THE 2001 FBC. THE 2004 |
| | FORM IS DISREGARDED AND THE 2001 FORM IS BEING REVIEWED |
| | FOR CODE COMPLIANCE. FBC 13-400.3.A. |
| | |
| | 15. ENERGY: SEVERAL ITEMS LISTED ON THE INPUT DATA |
| | REPORT DO NOT CORRELATE WITH WHAT IS SHOWN ON PLANS. |
| | EXAMPLE: THE REPORT INDICATES EXTERIOR WALL ASSEMBLES |
| | WITH R-VALUE OF 11.94. THE WALL AS DESCRIBED IN THE |
| | REPORT IS NOT SHOWN ON ARCHITECTURAL PLANS. THE |
| | INFORMATION USED IN THE INPUT DATA REPORT SHALLL |
| | CORRELATE WITH PLANS. PLEASE VERIFY ALL ASSEMBLIES, |
| | R-VALUES, U-FACTORS AND INFILTRATION RATES ARE IN |
| | COMPLIANCE AND CORRESPOND WITH WHAT IS ON ARCHITECTURAL |
| | PLANS. FBC 13-400.3.A |
| | |
| | 16. ENERGY: COOLING LOAD CALCS, DATA USED TO PERFORM |
| | COOLING LOAD CALCULATIONS AS SHOWN ON THE SYSTEM SIZING |
| | SUMMARY DO NOT MATCH THE VALUES SHOWN ON PLAN. EXAMPLE: |
| | AHU CH-3 ON SUMMARY SHOWS 120 CFM OF OUTDOOR AIR. |
| | EQUIPMENT SCHEDULEON M15.23 SHOWS 200 CFM, PLEASE |
| | CORRELATE PLANS AND CALCULATIONS. FBC 13-407.1.ABCD.1 |
| | |
| | 17. ENERGY: PROVIDE AUTOMATIC SETBACK OR SHUTDOWN |
| | CONTROLS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBC 13-407.1.ABCD.2.4.1. |
