| | LOCATION AS A CONCRETE COLUMN. SEE PG A-808. THERE IS A |
| | CHASE WITHIN THE UNIT DESIGNED FOR THIS RISER DUCT |
| | MAKING THE 2-HOUR RATED ENCLOSURE IN THE PARKING GARAGE |

| | 78. M7.4: DUCT SMOKE DETECTORS SHALL BE CONNECTED TO |
| | THE BUILDING FIRE ALARM SYSTEM PER FBC,M 606.4.1. |
| | |
| | ENERGY CALCULATIONS: |
| | |
| | 79. OUTDOOR AIR QUANTITIES SHOWN ON SIZING SUMMARY DO |
| | NOT MATCH THOSE GIVEN ON PG M0.1. THESE VALUES SHOULD |
| | CORRESPOND. EXAMPLE: EXERCISE ROOM ON SCHEDULE CALLS |
| | FOR 150 CFM O.A. WHILE THE SUMMARY SHOWS 120 CFM O.A. |
| | PLEASE SHOW CORRELATION BETWEEN DESIGN ON PLANS AND |
| | CALCULATIONS USED FOR SIZING OF EQUIPMENT. |
| | |
| | 80. COIL SIZING/ COOLING CAPACITY SHOWN ON SIZING |
| | SUMMARY DO NOT MATCH THOSE GIVEN ON PG M6.1. EXAMPLE 1: |
| | APT C2 ON SCHEDULE SHOWS 23.83 MBH AND APT C2 ON |
| | SUMMARY SHOWS 28.8 MBH.THIS UNIT LOOKS TO BE |
| | SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERSIZED BASED ON THE SIZING |
| | SUMMARY/COOLING LOADS. PLEASE CLARIFY. |
| | EXAMPLE 2: SUMMARY FOR AHU-OFFICES CALLS FOR SENSIBLE |
| | COIL LOAD OF 11.3 MBH WHILE ON SCHEDULE AHU-4 SHOWS |
| | 16.87 MBH. HVAC SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT SHALL BE SIZED TO |
| | PROVIDE NO MORE THAN THE SPACE AND SYSTEM LOADS |
| | CALCULATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBC 13-407.1.ABC.1. |
| | PLEASE SHOW EQUIPMENT TO BE SIZED ACCORDINGLY. |
| | |
| | 81. SYSTEM REPORT COMPLIANCE: SYSTEM SIZES AS SHOWN ON |
| | REPORT DO NOT CORRESPOND WITH SYSTEMS IN THE SYSTEM |
| | SIZING SUMMARY. GROUPING OF SYSTEMS WILL INCREASE THE |
| | SIZE OF THE SYSTEM IN THE REPORT WILL DISTORT THE |
| | ALLOWED EFFICIENCY CRITERIA WHICH WOULD PROVIDE UNDUE |
| | TRADE-OFF CREDIT FOR EFFICIENCY OF THE COOLING SYSTEMS. |
| | EXAMPLE: SYSTEM 1 IS LISTED FOR ALL TOWNHOMES AS ONE |
| | "WATER COOLED >240,000 BTU/H" UNIT. THE TOWNHOMES ARE |
| | EACH COOLED BY INDIVIDUAL UNITS AND WOULD BE |
| | CATEGORIZED AS "WATER COOLED 17,000 TO <135,000 BTU/H" |
| | IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBC TABLE 13-407.1.ABC.3.2B. THIS |
| | TABLE GIVES A MINIMUM EFFICIENCY CRITERIA OF 12.00 EER. |
| | "SYSTEMS" SHOULD CORRESPOND WITH "ZONES" IN THE INPUT |
| | DATA REPORT. FOR GUIDANCE AS TO WHAT ACTUALLY |
| | CONSTITUTES A ZONE, PLEASE SEE FBC 13-407.1.ABC.2.2.1. |
| | |
| | 82. INPUT DATA REPORT: BUILDING ENVELOPE COMPONENTS AS |
| | SHOWN ON THE INPUT DATE REPORT DO NOT CORRESPOND WITH |
| | THE TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION SHOWN ON PLANS. EXAMPLE: |
| | REPORT SHOWS THE ROOF TO BE INSULATED WITH R-19 BATTS. |
| | DETAILS ON A-652 INDICATE THE ROOF INSULATED WITH RIGID |
| | BOARD TO A VALUE OF R-14 IN A BUILT-UP ROOF SYSTEM. |
| | ALSO, NO INFORMATION COULD BE FOUND REGARDING TYPE OR |
| | R-VALUE OF INSULATION TO BE USED IN THE MANSARD ROOF |
| | SECTIONS WHICH ARE ABOVE CONDITIONED SPACES. NO |
| | INFORMATION COULD BE FOUND IN ARCHITECTURAL PLANS OR |
| | DETAILS SHOWING 1.36" INSULATION AT EXTERIOR WALLS AS |
| | INDICATED ON THE REPORT. PLEASE CLARIFY ON PLANS AND |
| | PROVIDE CORRESPONDING INFORMATION ON CALCULATIONS. |
| | |
| | 83. WHAT IS THE R-VALUE OF THE 3RD FLOOR FLOOR/CEILING |
| | ASSEMBLY BETWEEN THE PARKING GARAGE AND THE 3RD FLOOR |
| | APARTMENTS? THIS INFORMATION IS NOT SHOWN ON PLANS OR |
| | IN THE REPORT. ALSO, PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW AN 8" |
| | LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE BLOCK WITH 1.36" INSULATION SYSTEM |
| | IS TO BE USED FOR THE FLOOR IN THE LOBBY AS INDICATED |
| | IN THE REPORT. |
| | |
| | 84. ENERGY CALCULATIONS SHOW A "PLANT" CHILLER AT 390 |
| | TONS. THERE IS NO CHILLER SHOWN AS PART OF THIS SYSTEM. |
| | ALSO, THE CLOSED CIRCUIT COOLERS AND A/C BOILER WERE |
| | OMITTED FROM THE CALCULATIONS. PLEASE CORRECT AND |
| | RESUBMIT. |
| | |
| | 85. STAIR AND ELEVATOR SHAFT VENTS SHALL BE EQUIPPED |
| | WITH MOTORIZED DAMPERS THAT ARE CAPABLE OF BEING |
| | AUTOMATICALLY CLOSED DURING NORMAL BUILDING OPERATION |
| | AND ARE INTERLOCKED TO OPEN AS REQUIRED BY FIRE AND |
| | SMOKE DETECTION SYSTEMS. FBC 13-409.1.ABC.3.1 |
| | |
| | 86. MECHANICAL SYSTEMS SHALL BE DESIGNED TO ASSURE THAT |
| | BUILDINGS ARE PRESSURIZED WITH RESPECT TO OUTDOORS. |
| | PROVIDE AIR BALANCE SCHEDULE(S) SHOWING COMPLIANCE FOR |
| | ALL ZONES/FLOORS. FBC 13-409.1.ABC.2 |
| | |
| | 87. SHOW SHUTOFF DAMPER CONTROLS FOR O.A. SUPPLY AND |
| | EXHAUST SYSTEMS AS REQUIRED BY FBC 13-409.1.ABC.3.3. |
