| | 6. THIS IS THE FIRST REVIEW OF THE ENERGY CALCULATIONS |
| | AS THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED WITH THE ORIGINAL SUBMITTAL. |
| | THE FOLLOWING DISCREPANCIES WERE FOUND IN THE ENERGY |
| | CALCULATIONS: |
| | A) THE DESIGN IPLV ON THE PLANT PORTION OF THE INPUT |
| | DATA REPORT (IDR) DOES NOT CORRESPOND WITH THE IPLV ON |
| | THE EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE. ADDITIONALLY, THE DATA IN THE |
| | EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE DOES NOT CORRESPOND WITH THE |
| | MANUFACTURER?S DATA FROM THEIR WEBSITE (WWW.TRANE.COM). |
| | |
| | B) THE IDR CALLS FOR 1.5 INCH THICK INSULATION ON |
| | DOMESTIC HOT WATER PIPING, BUT THE SPECIFICATIONS |
| | (SEC.15250) CALL FOR 1 INCH THICK INSULATION. |
| | C) THE IDR CALLS FOR 2 INCH THICK INSULATION ON 2 INCH |
| | CHILLED WATER HVAC PIPING AND THE SPECIFICATIONS |
| | (SEC.15250) CALL FOR 1.5 INCH THICK INSULATION. |
| | THE VALUES IN THE IDR SHALL MATCH THE VALUES ON THE |
| | PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBC |
| | 13-103.2 |
| | D) COOLING LOAD CALCULATIONS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SYSTEM |
| | SIZING SHALL BE APPENDED TO THE ENERGY CALCULATIONS IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH FBC 13-407.1.ABC.1. |
| | |
| | 7. NO CUT SHEETS WERE FOUND IN THE PACKAGE SUBMITTED. |
| | ALSO, NO LOUVERS WERE PROVIDED IN THE PRODUCT APPROVAL |

| | SERVED BY BC-1. HOWEVER, THERE IS AN 8 INCH FLEX DUCT |
| | SHOWN ON FLOOR PLAN, PAGE M1-102, WHICH IS PENETRATING |
| | A TWO-HOUR FIRE RESISTANCE RATED WALL. SEE PAGE |
| | LS-001SHOW HOW THIS PENETRATION IS TO BE PROTECTED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH FBC, M 607.5.2. |
| | |
| | 15. OK |
| | |
| | 16. THERE IS NO INDICATION ON PLANS AS TO HOW THIS |

| | AUTOMATICALLY UPON DETECTION OF A CONCENTRATION OF |
| | CARBON MONOXIDE OF 25 PARTS PER MILLION (PPM) BY |
| | APPROVED AUTOMATIC DETECTION DEVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | FBC, M 404.1. IN LIEU OF BEING CONTROLLED BY APPROVED |
| | CARBON MONOXIDE SENSOR(S) THE VENTILATION FAN FOR THE |
| | SALLY PORT SHALL OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY AT A MINUM RATE |
| | OF 1.5 CFM PER SQUARE FOOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS |
| | SECTION. AUTOMATIC OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM SHALL NOT |
| | REDUCE THE CONTINUOUS VENTILATION RATE BELOW0.05 CFM |
| | PER SQUARE FOOT OF THE FLOOR AREA AND THE SYSTEM SHALL |
| | BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A VENTILATION RATE OF 1.5 CFM |
| | PER SQUARE FOOT OF FLOOR AREA IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBC, M |
| | 404.2 SHOW HOW THE CONTINUOUS OR VARIABLE RATES ARE TO |
| | BE PROVIDED. IF A CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTION SYSTEM IS |
| | EMPLOYED, SHOW LOCATION(S) OF DETECTOR(S) AND PROVIDE |
| | MANUFACTURER?S SUBMITTAL AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
