| | ACTION: |
| | |
| | FBC 2004 CODE FAMILY W/ 2007 SUPPLEMENTS |
| | FBC CH.1 AS AMENDED BY THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | |
| | THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ARE NUMBERED TO CORRESPOND WITH |
| | PREVIOUS REVIEW COMMENTS AS WELL AS DESIGNER'S WRITTEN |
| | RESPONSES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTINUITY. |
| | |
| | 1. THE FOLLOWING ISSUES RELATED TO RATED WALLS AND DUCT |
| | PENETRATIONS ARE STILL OUTSTANDING: |
| | |
| | A) THE DUCT FLOOR PLAN HAS BEEN SPLIT INTO TWO PAGES, |
| | ONE FOR SUPPLY (M-1A) AND ONE FOR RETURN (M-1B). BOTH |
| | PAGES ARE MISSING FIRE DAMPERS AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS OF |
| | DUCT PENETRATIONS OF RATED WALLS. ALSO, SOME FIRE |
| | DAMPERS ARE SHOWN AT NON-RATED WALL LOCATIONS. SHOW |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH FBCM 607.2, 607.5 AND 607.8. |
| | NOTE: ONE SET OF MECHANICAL PLANS HAS BEEN MARKED-UP |
| | DURING THIS REVIEW TO SHOW RATED WALL LOCATIONS AND |
| | LOCATIONS OF MISSING DAMPERS AND DAMPERS LOCATED OUT OF |
| | RATED WALLS. |
| | |
| | B) PAGE M-1B SHOWS ALL DAMPERS IN THE RETURN DUCT TO BE |
| | COMBINATION FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS. PAGE M-1A SHOWS ONLY |
| | STANDARD FIRE DAMPERS. WHICH ONE IS CORRECT? PLEASE |
| | CLARIFY. ALSO, IF FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS ARE TO BE |
| | INSTALLED, SMOKE DAMPERS SHALL CLOSE UPON ACTUATION OF |
| | A LISTED SMOKE DETECTOR OR DETECTORS INSTALLED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH SECTIONS 907.10 AND 907.11 OF THE |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, BUILDING AND ONE OF THE METHODS |
| | LISTED UNDER FBCM 607.3.2.1, AS APPLICABLE. PLEASE SHOW |
| | HOW THE SMOKE DAMPERS ARE TO BE ACTUATED IN ACCORDANCE |
| | WITH THIS SECTION.. |
| | |
| | C) PAGE M-2 SHOWS SUPPLY DUCT PENETRATIONS AT ROOF |
| | PROVIDED WITH FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS. THERE IS NO |
| | INDICATION ON ARCHITECTURAL PLANS THAT THE ROOF IS A |
| | FIRE RESISTANCE RATED ASSEMBLY WHICH REQUIRES PROTECTED |
| | PENETRATIONS. IF DAMPERS ARE REQUIRED, WHY ARE THEY |
| | ONLY ON THE SUPPLY AND NOT THE RETURN? WHAT TYPE OF |
| | ASSEMBLY IS BEING PENETRATED? IF DAMPERS ARE TO BE |
| | INSTALLED, PROVIDE DETAIL SHOWING HOW THESE DAMPERS ARE |
| | TO BE INSTALLED AT A RATED PENETRATION IN ACCORDANCE |
| | WITH FBCM 607.6 AND 607.8. |
| | NOTE: IT APPEARS THAT POSSIBLY THE FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS |
| | SHOWN ON THE ROOF ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DUCT SMOKE |
| | DETECTORS, SINCE THEY ARE ONLY ON THE SUPPLY AND THE |
| | DUCT SMOKE DETECTORS ARE NOT SHOWN ANYWHERE ON THE |
| | PLANS. FAN SHUT-DOWN BY SMOKE DETECTOR IS REQUIRED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 606.2. |
| | |

| | RESISTANCE. APPLIANCES EXPOSED TO WIND SHALL NOT ONLY |
| | BE INSTALLED, BUT SHALL ALSO BE DESIGNED TO RESIST WIND |
| | PRESSURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 301.13. PROVIDE |
| | SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FROM THE DESIGNERS OF THESE |
| | APPLIANCES. |
| | |
| | 5. OK |
| | |
| | 6. OK |
| | |
| | 7. COOLING LOAD CALCULATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN PROVIDED FOR |
| | THE NEW APPLIANCES BEING INSTALLED. COOLING LOAD |
| | CALCULATIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB |
| | 13-407.1.ABC.1. |
