| | FBC 2004 CODE FAMILY W/ 2005 REVISIONS |
| | FBC CH.1 AS AMENDED BY THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | |
| | 1. OK |
| | |
| | 2. OK |
| | |
| | 3. A) NATURAL VENTILATION IS NOT AN AVAILABLE OPTION IN |
| | THIS APPLICATION. FBC,M 402.1 REQUIRES OPENINGS TO THE |
| | OUTDOORS. THE DWELLING UNIT GARAGE DOORS OPEN TO AN |
| | ENCLOSED PARKING GARAGE AREA WHICH DOES NOT QUALIFY AS |
| | OUTDOORS. |
| | |
| | B) THE VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS FOR GARAGES, SEPARATE |
| | FOR EACH DWELLING UNIT, IN ACCORDANCE WITH TABLE 403.3, |
| | IS 100 CFM PER CAR. IN THIS CASE, EACH GARAGE WOULD |
| | REQUIRE 200 CFM OF OUTDOOR AIR. THE COMMON GARAGE AREA |
| | WILL REQUIRE 1.5 CFM PER SQ.FT OF FLOOR AREA. |
| | RECIRCULATION OF AIR FROM THIS SPACE IS PROHIBITED PER |
| | FBC,M TABLE 403.3 NOTE (B). AS SUCH, THE INDIVIDUAL |
| | DWELLING UNIT GARAGES ARE REQUIRED TO COMMUNICATE |
| | DIRECTLY WITH THE OUTDOORS FOR THEIR REQUIRED 200 CFM |
| | OF OUTDOOR AIR. |
| | |
| | C) THE COMMON GARAGE AREA VENTILATION SYSTEM MAY RUN |
| | INTERMITTENTLY IF IT IS DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | FBC,M SEC. 404. |
| | |
| | 4. THIS COMMENT IS NOW ENCOMPASSED IN COMMENT #3. |
| | |
| | 5. OK |
| | |
| | 6. OK |
| | |
| | 7. THE BALANCED RETURN EXCEPTIONS TO FBC,M 601.4 STILL |
| | HAVE NOT BEEN MET. NOTE THAT UNDER EXCEPTION #3 ALL |
| | SUPPLY INTO THE MASTER SUITE SHALL BE INCLUDED. |
| | EXAMPLE: UNIT A MASTER SUITE ISFED BY A 10X8 DUCT WHICH |
| | IS 80 SQ.IN. A 10" FLEX (RETURN JUMPER AS SOWN ON PLAN) |
| | IS 78.5 SQ.IN. IT IS SMALLER THAN THE SUPPLY WHEN THE |
| | EXCEPTION REQUIRES IT TO BE 1 1/2 TIMES LARGER THAN THE |
| | SUPPLY. IN ADDITION, THE RETURN FROM THE MASTER AND |
| | BEDROOM 2 IS BEING CARRIED BY ONE 10X10 DUCT, WHICH IS |
| | 100 SQ.IN. WITH 80 SQ.IN. SUPPL FEEDING THE MASTER AND |
| | 50 SQ.IN. FEEDING BEDROOM 2 (8" ROUND SUPPLY), THAT IS |
| | A TOTAL OF 130 SQ.IN. OF SUPPLY BEING RETURNED BY A 100 |
| | SQ. IN. JUMPER. THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY AS BALANCED |
| | RETURN EVEN IF THE EXCEPTIONS TO 601.4 ARE NOT CLAIMED. |
| | PROVIDE BALANCED RETURN FROM ALL HABITABLE ROOMS AS |
| | REQUIRED BY FBC,M 601.4. |
| | |
| | COMMENTS 8 THROUGH 10 ARE OK. |
