| | 1)FBC 1609.2THE MEMO DATED 9/11/07 FROM ROBERT |
| | BOTKIN, P.E. STATES THAT THE PARKING GARAGE DOES NOT |
| | MEET THE DEFINITION OF "PARTIALLY ENCLOSED" BECAUSE AO |
| | < 1.10 AOI.THAT ARGUMENT HAS BEEN USED TO JUSTIFY |
| | CONSIDERATION OF THE PARKING GARAGE AS "ENCLOSED", AND |
| | TREATMENT OF THE PROPOSED GARAGE DOOR AS INTERIOR. |
| | PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING FLORIDA BUILDING CODE |
| | DEFINITIONS FOR THE TERMS AO AND AOI: |
| | AO IS "TOTAL AREA OF OPENINGS IN A WALL THAT RECEIVES |
| | POSITIVE EXTERNAL PRESSURE, IN SQUARE FEET" |
| | AOI IS "THE SUM OF THE AREAS OF OPENINGS IN THE |
| | BUILDING ENVELOPE (WALLS AND ROOF) NOT INCLUDING AO, IN |
| | SQUARE FEET" |
| | IN THIS CASE AO IS THE AREA OF THE GARAGE ENTRIES IN |
| | ONE EXTERIOR WALL (I.E. WILL RECEIVE POSITIVE PRESSURE |
| | AT THE SAME TIME), AND AOI IS THE SUM OF THE AREAS OF |
| | THE OPENINGS IN THE OTHER EXTERIOR WALLS OF THE GARAGE. |
| | THOSE OPENINGS DO NOT INCLUDE ANY THAT ARE FITTED WITH |
| | DOORS, WINDOWS OR OTHER CLOSURE DEVICES.THE |
| | ENGINEER'S MEMO DOES NOT STATE THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF |
| | SQUARE FEET REPRESENTED BY AOI. |
| | THE PARKING GARAGE MUST BE CONSIDERED AS PARTIALLY |
| | ENCLOSED UNLESS YOU CAN SHOW THAT AO < AOI.TO DO THIS |
| | YOU MUST SPECIFY THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF AOI AND STATE |
| | WHICH "OTHER" OPENINGS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO CONTRIBUTE TO |
| | THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF AOI.EITHER PROVIDE THIS |
| | JUSTIFICATION OR SUBMIT A PRODUCT APPROVAL FOR A GARAGE |
| | DOOR PRODUCT THAT IWILL WITHSTAND THE APPROPRIATE |
| | COMPONENTS AND CLADDING PRESSURES. |
