| | SUMMARY DO NOT MATCH THOSE GIVEN ON PG M6.1. EXAMPLE: |
| | APT C1 ON SCHEDULE SHOWS 2.5 TONS OR 29.92 MBH AND APT |
| | C1 ON SUMMARY SHOWS 1.9 TONS OR 23.3 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. |
| | |
| | 80. 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 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. |
| | |
| | 81. 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. |
| | |
| | 82. 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. |
| | |
| | 83. 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 |
| | |
| | 84. 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 |
| | |
| | 85. SHOW SHUTOFF DAMPER CONTROLS FOR O.A. SUPPLY AND |
| | EXHAUST SYSTEMS AS REQUIRED BY FBC 13-409.1.ABC.3.3. |
| | |
| | 86. 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. |
