| | FSD SHOWN ON SEF-2 DUCT WHERE IT EXITS THE SHAFT ON |
| | FLOOR PLAN (H1.01) OR RISER 9 DIAGRAM (H2.04). WHAT IS |
| | THE PURPOSE OF OPENING THE MOTORIZED DAMPER FOR SEF-1 |

| | DOOR (H1.05), IS THERE A STEEL GIRDER OR BEAM WHICH |
| | WILL INTERFERE WITH ACCESS? SEF-2 DISCHARGES ADJACENT |

| | OUTDOORS. WHAT WILL THE STATUS OF GARAGE EXHAUST FANS |
| | (PF-1 THROUGH PF-12 AND SF-1) BE WHEN SEF-2 IS ACTIVE |
| | (SINCE THAT LOCATION IS THE SOURCE OF MAKE-UP AIR FOR |
| | THESE FANS)? ARE THERE PROVISIONS TO ENSURE PF?S AND |
| | SF-1 WILL NOT DRAW SMOKE INTO PARKING GARAGE? SEF-2 |
| | INTAKE ON H2.04 RISER DIAGRAM IS SHOWN ABOVE THE |
| | CEILING IN RETAIL 1 AREA. THIS DOES NOT CORRELATE WITH |
| | FLOOR PLAN AND IS NOT FUNCTIONAL FOR PROVIDING SMOKE |
| | CONTROL TO THE MAIN LOBBY AREA. |
| | (D) SEQUENCE INDICATES DOORS WILL OPEN FOR SMOKE |
| | EXHAUST MAKE-UP AIR, BUT PLAN SHOWS LOUVERS WITH |
| | MOTORIZED DAMPERS ABOVE THE DOORS ADDED IN THIS |
| | REVISION. IS THIS IN ADDITION TO THE LOBBY DOORS OR |
| | INSTEAD OF THEM? PLEASE CLARIFY. IF THE LOUVERS AND |
| | MOTORIZED DAMPER ARE TO BE USED, PLEASE ADJUST SEQUENCE |
| | ACCORDINGLY. |
