| | PREVIOUS REVIEW COMMENTS AS WELL AS DESIGNER'S WRITTEN |
| | RESPONSES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTINUITY. |
| | |
| | 1 THROUGH 3: OK |
| | |
| | 4. NOT ALL PLENUM CLOSET DOORS HAVE BEEN CORRECTLY |
| | DESIGNATED AS METAL DOORS. EXAMPLE: IN MANAGER OFFICE |
| | A116, THE CLOSET FOR AC-7 SERVES AS A PLENUM AND HAS A |
| | #8 DOOR DESIGNATION ON PG A101. COMMON AREA DOOR |
| | SCHEDULE ON PG A400 SHOWS A #8 DOOR TO BE A WOOD DOOR. |
| | PLEASE CHECK AND VERIFY ALL DOORS ON PLENUM CLOSETS ARE |
| | CORRECTLY DESIGNATED ON PLANS TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE |
| | WITH FBCM 602.2.1. |
| | |
| | 5 THROUGH 7: OK |
| | |
| | 8. THE WRITTEN RESPONSE TO THIS COMMENT INDICATES THE |
| | PRESENCE OF PERMANENT OPENINGS TO BE USED IN |
| | CONJUNCTION WITH THE CIRCULATION FANS TO PROVIDE THE |
| | CONTINUOUS VENTILATION RATE OF 0.05 CFM/SF. PAGE A101 |
| | NOW SHOWS ROLLUP DOORS AT THE LOCATION OF THE |
| | PREVIOUSLY PERMANENT OPENINGS. FOR THIS REASON, ANOTHER |
| | MEANS OF INTRODUCING OUTSIDE AIR FOR GARAGE VENTILATION |
| | IS REQUIRED FOR BOTH THE CONTINUOUS AND THE ELEVATED |
| | VENTILATION RATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 403.2 AND FBCM |
| | 4042. |
| | |
| | 9. OK |
| | |
| | 10. SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS FOR GARAGE EXHAUST WILL BE |
| | AFFECTED BY COMMENT #8 ABOVE. |
| | |
| | 11. SMOKE CONTROL RATIONAL ANALYSIS HAS BEEN RECEIVED. |
| | THE SMOKE CONTROL SYSTEM WILL BE REVIEWED AT THE END OF |
| | THIS REVIEW. |
| | |
| | 12 AND 13: OK |
| | |
| | 14. NEW SUPPLY FANS HAVE BEEN ADDED SINCE LAST REVIEW. |
| | SF-3, 4, 5, 6 ALL EXCEED 2000 CFM AND REQUIRE FAN |
| | SHUT-DOWN BY SMOKE DETECTOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 606.1.1. PROVIDE DUCT SMOKE DETECTORS ON THE SUPPLY |
| | SIDE OF THESE FANS TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE WITH THIS |
| | SECTION. |
| | |
| | 15 THROUGH 23: OK |
| | |
| | 24: IT IS THE DETERMINATION OF THE BUILDING OFFICIAL |
| | THAT THE REQUIREMENT FOR FAN SHUT-DOWN BY SMOKE |
| | DETECTOR SHALL BE DETERMINED BASED ON THE CAPACITY OF |
| | THE AIR HANDLING APPLIANCE. PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION FROM |
| | THE APPLIANCE MANUFACTURER INDICATING THAT THIS |
| | APPLIANCE IS NOT CAPABLE OF PRODUCING AIR VOLUMES IN |
| | EXCESS OF 2,000 CFM UNDER ANY CONFIGURATION. IN LIEU OF |
| | THIS INFORMATION, FAN SHUT-DOWN BY SMOKE DETECTOR IS |
| | REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | 25 THROUGH 27: OK |
| | |
| | 28. THE NOTES ON PAGE AC-12 RELATED TO LOUVERS FOR THE |
| | GENERATOR ROOM ARE CUT-OFF AND CAN NOT BE READ. PLEASE |
| | CORRECT AND RESUBMIT. OTHERWISE, THIS COMMENT IS |
| | ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED. |
| | |
| | 29 THROUGH 33: OK |

| | TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR. PLEASE CORRECT AND RESUBMIT. |
| | |
| | 46. OK |
| | |
| | 47. THE ADDRESS ON THE SUMMARY FORM HAS NOT BEEN |
| | CORRECTED. ADDITIONALLY THE FOLLOWING ISSUES HAVE COME |
| | TO LIGHT REGARDING THE ENERGY CALCULATIONS: |
| | A) IN THE INPUT DATA REPORT (IDR) UNDER SPACES, ZONE: |
| | APTMS 3-14, THIS SPACE SHOULD HAVE A MULTIPLIER OF 12 |
| | FOR A TOTAL VOLUME OF 1,192,212.0 CUBIC FEET. SEE ZONE: |
| | CORRIDOR FOR AN EXAMPLE. |
| | B) IN THE IDR THERE IS NOTHING LISTED FOR DOORS OR |
| | FLOORS. PLEASE CORRECT. |
| | C) THE PIPING SECTION IS CALLING FOR 1.5 INCH |
| | INSULATION ON DOMESTIC HOT WATER PIPING. WHERE CAN THIS |
| | INFORMATION BE FOUND ON PLANS? |
| | D) NO COOLING LOAD CALCULATIONS OR SYSTEM SIZING |
| | SUMMARY WAS FOUND ATTACHED TO THE ENERGY CALCULATIONS |
| | AS REQUIRED BY FBCB 13-407-1-ABC.1. |
| | E) THESE COMMENTS ARE BASED ON A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE |
| | ENERGY CALCULATIONS. PLEASE SEE OTHER TRADE REVIEWS FOR |

| | IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB 1020.5. PAGE AC-01 SHOWS A |
| | 2-HOUR RATED ENCLOSURE AT THE LOCATION OF THESE DUCTS |
| | IN THE EXIT PASSAGEWAY, BUT NO SUCH STRUCTURE IS SHOWN |
| | ON THE ARCHITECTURAL PAGES. PAGE A-101A SHOWS ONLY BARE |
| | CONCRETE CEILINGS AT THIS LOCATION. ALSO, BOTH DUCTS |
| | ARE SHOWN PENETRATING TWO 2-HOUR FIRE BARRIERS AT THE |
| | EXIT PASSAGEWAY WITHOUT PROTECTION OF THE PENETRATIONS. |
| | DUCT PENETRATIONS AND AIR TRANSFER OPENINGS IN FIRE |
| | BARRIERS SHALL BE PROTECTED WITH APPROVED FIRE DAMPERS |
| | INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 607.5.2. |
| | |

| | SUPPLY TRUNK LINE FOR AC-3, THE 24X10 SUPPLY AND RETURN |
| | DUCTS FOR AC-2, THE 20X10 SUPPLY TRUNK LINE FOR AC-4. |
| | PLEASE COORDINATE MECHANICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL PLANS, |
| | SHOWING FIRE DAMPERS AT THE LOCATION OF RATED |
| | ASSEMBLIES ONLY. FIRE DAMPERS SHALL BE INSTALLED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR LISTING (AT RATED ASSEMBLIES) PER |
| | FBCM 607.2. |
| | |
| | NOTE: THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ARE RELATED TO THE |
| | PROPOSED SMOKE CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS IS THE FIRST REVIEW |
| | OF THE SMOKE CONTROL SYSTEM AS NO INFORMATION WAS |
| | PROVIDED REGARDING THIS SYSTEM AT TIME OF FIRST |
| | REVIEW. |
| | |
| | 54. THE RATIONAL ANALYSIS CALLS FOR A COMBINATION OF |
| | MECHANICAL AN PASSIVE SYSTEMS. THE PASSIVE SYSTEMS ARE |
| | TO BE USED TO SEPARATE PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING INTO |
| | SMOKE ZONES WITH APPROVED SMOKE BARRIERS. THE LOCATIONS |
| | OF THE SMOKE ZONES IS NOT INDICATED ANYWHERE ON THE |
| | PLANS. ALSO, THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THE LOCATIONS OF |
| | SMOKE BARRIERS IN THE ARCHITECTURAL PLANS. |
| | |
| | 55. IN CONJUNCTION WITH COMMENT #54 ABOVE, THERE IS |

| | SPOT-TYPE SMOKE DETECTORS LISTED FOR RELEASING SERVICE |
| | IN EACH SMOKE ZONE BEING PROTECTED BY A PASSIVE SYSTEM |
| | IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB 909.12.2.2. THIS PART OF THE |
| | SYSTEM IS NOT COVERED IN THE FIRE ALARM RISER DIAGRAM, |
| | THE FIRE ALARM SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS OR THE SMOKE |
| | CONTROL SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS. PLEASE CLARIFY. THERE |
| | ARE SEVERAL SMOKE DAMPERS IN CORRIDOR WALLS AND |
| | ELEVATOR LOBBIES AS SHOWN ON FLOOR PLANS WITH NO |
| | INDICATION ON FIRE ALARM OR SMOKE CONTROL SEQUENCE |
| | SHOWING HOW THESE DAMPERS ARE TO BE CONTROLLED. |
| | |
| | 56. AC-15 CALLS FOR A SMOKE CONTROL PANEL, PRESUMABLY |
| | LOCATED IN THE FIRE COMMAND ROOM, BUT THIS PANEL IS NOT |
| | SHOWN ON OTHER PLANS. A FIRE-FIGHTER?S SMOKE CONTROL |
| | PANEL FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT EMERGENCY RESPONSE PURPOSES |
| | ONLY SHALL BE PROVIDED AND SHALL INCLUDE MANUAL CONTROL |
| | OR OVERRIDE OF AUTOMATIC CONTROL FOR MECHANICAL SMOKE |
| | CONTROL SYSTEMS. THE PANEL SHALL BE LOCATED IN A FIRE |
