| 2008-05-20 11:16:42 | REVIEW #: 2ND **PLAN CHECK ONLY** |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 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. THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE PLANS FOR THE NEW AND |
| | EXISTING BUILDINGS. ARE THESE TO BE DONE UNDER SEPARATE |
| | PERMITS? THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT PAGES NUMBERED M-1 AND |
| | M-2 AND THEY COVER DIFFERENT SCOPES OF WORK. PLEASE |
| | CLARIFY. ALSO, THE LEVEL OF ALTERATION COULD NOT BE |
| | FOUND ON PLANS. THE DESIGN PROFESSIONAL SHALL DECLARE |
| | THE LEVEL OF ALTERATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCEB |
| | 301.5. |
| | |
| | 2. WRITTEN RESPONSE TO THIS COMMENT INDICATES THAT |
| | THERE ARE NO DUCTWORK PENETRATIONS OF RATED WALL |
| | ASSEMBLIES ON THIS PROJECT. THIS STATEMENT IS IN |
| | CONFLICT WITH THE INFORMATION ON PAGES LS-1.0 AND M-2. |
| | PAGE LS-1.0 SHOWS THE WALL BETWEEN THE MULTI-PURPOSE |
| | ROOM AND THE ENTRANCE HALLWAY TO BE 1-HOUR FIRE |
| | RESISTANCE RATED. PAGE M-2 SHOWS AT LEAST TWO TYPE J |
| | AIR TRANSFER OPENINGS IN THIS RATED WALL. |
| | |
| | ADDITIONALLY, THE ENTRANCE HALLWAY IS SERVING AS AN |
| | EXIT ACCESS CORRIDOR FOR THE ASSEMBLY OCCUPANCY IN THE |
| | MULTI-PURPOSE ROOM. THIS CORRIDOR IS REQUIRED TO BE |
| | 1-HOUR FIRE RESISTANCE RATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB |
| | TABLE 1016.1. THIS WOULD REQUIRE BOTH SIDES OF THE |
| | CORRIDOR TO BE FIRE RESISTANCE RATED. THERE ARE |
| | MULTIPLE DUCT PENETRATIONS IN THE WALL ON THE OTHER |
| | SIDE OF THE CORRIDOR IN ADDITION TO THE AIR TRANSFER |
| | OPENINGS MENTIONED ABOVE. ALL OF THESE OPENINGS AND |
| | PENETRATIONS OF THE RATED CORRIDOR WALLS ARE REQUIRED |
| | TO BE PROTECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 607.5. |
| | NOTE: DUCT PENETRATIONS AND AIR TRANSFER OPENINGS IN |
| | FIRE-RESISTANCE RATED CORRIDORS ARE REQUIRED TO BE |
| | PROTECTED WITH FIRE AND SMOKE DAMPERS IN ACCORDANCE |
| | WITH FBCM 607.5.4 AND FBCB 715.3.3. SHOW HOW THESE |
| | OPENINGS AND PENETRATIONS ARE TO BE PROTECTED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH THESE SECTIONS. ALSO, SHOW HOW THESE |
| | SMOKE DAMPERS ARE TO BE ACTUATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | FBCM 607.5.4.1. |
| | |
| | 3. PAGE M-1 OUTSIDE AIR CALCULATIONS STATE "BASED ON |
| | ASHRAE 62.1-2007." THIS IS A STANDARD WHICH IS NOT |
| | REFERENCED OR ADOPTED IN THE 2004 FBCM. THE CURRENT |
| | ADOPTED STANDARD IS ASHRAE 62.1-2004. VENTILATION |
| | SYSTEMS SHALL BE DESIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS |
| | STANDARD OR FBCM 403.3 AND NOT BY A STANDARD WHICH HAS |
| | NOT BEEN ADOPTED BY CODE. PLEASE CORRECT AND RESUBMIT. |
| | |
| | NOTE: ACCORDING TO ASHRAE 62.1-2004 TABLE 6.1, A |
| | MULTI-USE ASSEMBLY SPACE REQUIRES 7.5 CFM PER PERSON |
| | AND HAS AN OCCUPANT LOAD OF 100 PEOPLE PER 1000 SQ.FT. |
| | PAGE LS-1.0 SHOWS THIS SPACE AT 4501 SQ.FT. WHICH WOULD |
| | GIVE AN OCCUPANT LOAD OF 450 PEOPLE. THE OCCUPANT LOAD |
| | SHALL BE BASED ON SQUARE FEET OF FLOOR AREA AND NOT |
| | SEATING AS THE SEATING IN THIS AREA IS NOT FIXED. |
| | PLEASE VERIFY ALL VALUES IN THE OUTSIDE AIR |
| | CALCULATIONS ARE IN CONFORMANCE WITH TABLE 6.1 AND |
| | ADJUST CALCULATIONS AS NEEDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 403.4. |
| | |
| | 4. OK |
| | |
| | 5. OK |
| | |
| | 6. ROOF VENTILATOR DETAIL, THERE IS NO INFORMATION |
| | REGARDING THE SIZE AND TYPE OF FASTENERS USED TO ATTACH |
| | THE VENTILATOR TO THE CURB. THERE IS ALSO NO |
| | INFORMATION REGARDING THE TYPE AND SIZE OF FASTENERS |
| | USED TO ATTACH THE CURB TO THE STRUCTURE. IF WOOD |
| | NAILERS ARE USED FOR THE CURB, THEN INFORMATION IS |
| | NEEDED ON THE NAILERS, SUCH AS SIZE AND TYPE OF NAILER, |
| | HOW THE NAILER IS ATTACHED TO THE STRUCTURE. ALSO, |
| | PROVIDE INFORMATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER SHOWING THE |
| | VENTILATOR IS DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND ANTICIPATED WIND |
| | PRESSURES. MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT, APPLIANCES AND |
| | SUPPORTS THAT ARE EXPOSED TO WIND SHALL BE DESIGNED AND |
| | INSTALLED TO RESIST THE WIND PRESSURES ON THE EQUIPMENT |
| | AND THE SUPPORTS AS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, BUILDING PER FBCM 301.13. |
| | SUFFICIENT DETAIL AND INFORMATION SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR |
| | BUILDING PLAN REVIEW TO DETERMINE COMPLIANCE WITH FBCB |
| | SECTIONS 1604 AND 1609. |
| | |
| | 7. IT IS UP TO THE DESIGNER TO DETERMINE THE SIZE, |
| | NUMBER AND SPACING OF FASTENERS NEEDED TO SECURE |
| | OUTDOOR APPLIANCES TO WITHSTAND ANTICIPATED WIND |
| | PRESSURES. NO DETAIL HAS BEEN PROVIDED. PLEASE SEE |
| | COMMENT ABOVE. MANUFACTURER?S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
| | MAY BE SUFFICIENT IF MANUFACTURER?S DATA SHOWS THE |
| | ATTACHMENT METHODS SPECIFIED HAVE BEEN TESTED TO MEET |
| | ANTICIPATED WIND PRESSURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 301.13, FBCB 1604 AND FBCB 1609. PLEASE PROVIDE |
| | SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL FOR |
| | BUILDING PLAN REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE |
| | SECTIONS. |
| | |
| | 8. NOTE #13 ON M-2 STATES "ONLY ON SET OF LINES PER PVC |
| | CONDUIT." THIS MAY JUST BE A TYPO AND INTENDED TO SAY |
| | "ONLY ONE SET"? BUT THE MEANING IS UNCLEAR. PLEASE |
| | CLARIFY. FBCM 1107.2.1, FBCB 106.1.1. |
| | |
| | 9. ENERGY CALCULATIONS: |
| | A) THE CERTIFICATION PAGE STATES THE CALCULATIONS WERE |
| | PREPARED BY "C. HAMMOND." IS C. HAMMOND AN ENGINEER OR |
| | ARCHITECT? ENERGY CALCULATIONS SHALL BE PREPARED BY AN |
| | ARCHITECT OR ENGINEER IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB 13-103.2. |
| | ALSO, C. HAMMOND HAS NOT CERTIFIED THESE CALCULATIONS |
| | AS REQUIRED BY FBCB 13-103.1.1. |
| | |
| | B) S. HOCKMAN AND C. HAMMOND ARE LISTED AS THE |
| | ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL DESIGNERS FOR THIS PROJECT. |
| | NEITHER OF THESE PEOPLE ARE THE DESIGNERS OF RECORD, AS |
| | THEY DID NOT SIGN AND SEAL THE PLANS. THEY ALSO DID NOT |
| | PROVIDE LICENSE NUMBERS ON THE CERTIFICATION FORM. |
| | DESIGN PROFESSIONALS RESPONSIBLE UNDER FLORIDA LAW FOR |
| | THE DESIGN OF LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL, MECHANICAL, AND |
| | PLUMBING SYSTEMS AND THE BUILDING SHELL, SHALL CERTIFY |

| | SIGNING AND PROVIDING THEIR PROFESSIONAL REGISTRATION |
| | NUMBER ON THE ENERGY CODE FORM PROVIDED AS PART OF THE |
| | PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT. |
| | EXCEPTION: TYPED NAMES AND REGISTRATION NUMBERS MAY BE |
| | PROVIDED IN LIEU OF A SIGNATURE WHERE ALL RELEVANT |
| | INFORMATION HAS BEEN INCLUDED ON SIGNED AND SEALED |
| | PLANS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB 13-103.1.1. |
| | |
| | C) INPUT DATA REPORT (IDR): SOME ENTRIES IN THE IDR DO |
| | NOT MATCH THE INFORMATION ON THE PLANS OR THE RATINGS |
| | OF THE EQUIPMENT SPECIFIED. EXAMPLE: AC-1 AND AC-2 IN |
| | THE IDR SHOW EFFICIENCY AT 10.1 WHILE THE EQUIPMENT |
| | SCHEDULE AND MANUFACTURER?S DATA SHOW THESE SYSTEMS |
| | RATED AT 9.7 EER. THIS IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF ALL |
| | DISCREPANCIES. PLEASE VERIFY ALL DATA WHICH IS INPUT |
| | INTO THE PROGRAM CORRESPONDS WITH THE INFORMATION ON |
| | THE PLANS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB 13-103.2 |
| | |
| | D) COMPLIANCE FORM SUBMITTED IS FLA/COM 2004 V3.00. THE |

| | WITH FBCB 13-400.3.A. THIS VERSION 2.5 FORM MAY |
| | INCORPORATE THE LATEST VERSION OF ENERGYGAUGE. |
| | |
| | NOTE: THESE CALCULATIONS ARE ONLY BEING REVIEWED FOR |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH THE GENERAL AND MECHANICAL PORTIONS OF |
| | THE ENERGY CODE. PLEASE SEE OTHER TRADE REVIEWS FOR |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, IF APPLICABLE. |
