| | |
| | THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ARE NUMBERED TO CORRESPOND WITH |
| | PREVIOUS REVIEW COMMENTS AS WELL AS DESIGNER'S WRITTEN |
| | RESPONSES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTINUITY. |
| | ONE SET OF PLANS HAS BEEN MARKED-UP DURING REVIEW TO |
| | ASSIST WITH CLARITY OF COMMENTS. |
| | |
| | 1 THROUGH 3: OK |
| | |
| | 4 THROUGH 9: THESE COMMENT RESPONSES ARE NOT ABLE TO BE |
| | REVIEWED AT THIS TIME. THEY ALL INVOLVE CORRECTIONS TO |
| | THE ENERGY CALCULATIONS, WHICH WERE NOT INCLUDED WITH |
| | THIS RESUBMITTAL. PLEASE PROVIDE CORRECTED ENERGY |
| | CALCULATIONS FOR REVIEW PRIOR TO PERMIT ISSUANCE IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB 13-103.3. |
| | |
| | 10. OK |
| | |
| | 11. PG M-101A: |
| | A) FIRE-RESISTANCE RATED WALLS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO |
| | CORRIDOR AND LOBBY AREA AS SHOWN ON PG A-101A, A-401 |
| | AND A-402. BASED ON THESE LOCATIONS, THERE ARE AT LEAST |
| | FOUR DUCT PENETRATIONS OF RATED WALLS AT OFFICE 124 AND |
| | OFFICE 126 WHICH ARE NOT PROTECTED. SHOW HOW THESE |
| | PENETRATIONS ARE TO BE PROTECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | FBCM 607.5. COORDINATE ANY AND ALL CHANGES IN WALL |
| | TYPES BETWEEN ARCHITECTURAL, LIFE SAFETY AND MECHANICAL |
| | PLANS. |
| | NOTE: THERE ARE A FEW DUCT PENETRATIONS IN THIS AREA |
| | WHICH WOULD QUALIFY FOR AN EXCEPTION TO THE SMOKE |
| | DAMPER REQUIREMENTS FBCM 607.5.4(3), DEPENDING ON THE |
| | DESIGN INTENT. |
| | B) THE 18X20 GREASE EXHAUST DUCT FROM KITCHEN 115 IS |
| | NOW SHOWN PENETRATING TWO RATED WALL ASSEMBLIES. A |
| | GREASE DUCT SERVING A TYPE I HOOD THAT PENETRATES A |
| | FIRE RATED CEILING, FIRE RATED WALL OR FLOOR SHALL BE |
| | ENCLOSED FROM THE POINT OF PENETRATION TO THE OUTLET |
| | TERMINAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 506.3.10. SHOW HOW |
| | THIS DUCT IS TO BE ENCLOSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS |
| | SECTION OR EXCEPTION #1. |
| | C) DISHWASHER EXHAUST DUCT IS SHOWN PENETRATING |
| | CORRIDOR WALL WITH FIRE/SMOKE DAMPER AT WALL |
| | PENETRATION. THIS DUCT WILL BE CONVEYING HOT, |
| | MOISTURE-LADEN AIR TO THE OUTDOORS. IS THE FIRE/SMOKE |
| | DAMPER AND DUCT USED AT THIS LOCATION DESIGNED FOR |
| | THESE CONDITIONS? DUCTS CONVEYING MOISTURE-LADEN OR |
| | WASTE-HEAT-LADEN AIR SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED, JOINED AND |
| | SEALED IN AN APPROVED MANNER IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 506.4.2. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DETAILS FOR THIS |
| | APPLICATION. |
| | |
| | 12 THROUGH 19: OK |
| | |
| | 20. PG M-102A: NOTES HAVE BEEN CORRECTED AND MADE |
| | LEGIBLE. HOWEVER, TWO OF THE CO SENSORS IN THIS AREA |
| | ARE BEING DESIGNATED BY MECHANICAL NOTE #2 RATHER THAN |
| | NOTE #7. PLEASE CORRECT FBCM 404, FBCB 106.1.1. |
| | |
| | 21 THROUGH 23: OK |
| | |
| | 24.M-102A: OK EXCEPT: STAIR PRESSURIZATION TEST WILL |
| | BE REQUIRED FOR BOTH PRESSURIZED STAIRS TO VERIFY |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH MAXIMUM DOOR OPENING FORCES ALLOWED PER |
| | FBCB 11-4.13.11. THIS WILL BE A PROVISO ON IN EFFECT |
| | UNTIL FINAL MECHANICAL INSPECTION HAS PASSED. ALSO, PG |
| | M-404 STILL SHOWS STAIR PRESSURIZATION FANS CONNECTED |
| | TO A BUILDING SMOKE CONTROL SYSTEM WHICH DOES NOT |
| | EXIST. PLEASE CORRECT. IN ADDITION, BOTH SF-2 AND SF-3 |
| | WILL REQUIRE DUCT SMOKE DETECTORS FOR FAN SHUT-DOWN IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 606.2. |
| | |
| | 25 THROUGH 28: OK |
| | |
| | 29. PG M-103A: THE DESIGN INTENT IN THIS AREA REMAINS |
| | UNCLEAR. WHILE ARCHITECTURAL PLANS NOW SHOW THESE DUCTS |
| | IN A RATED ENCLOSURE, THIS PAGE ALSO SHOWS TWO |
| | FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS AT THE FLOOR PENETRATION WHILE PG |
| | M-102A SHOWS TWO FIRE DAMPERS AT THE FLOOR PENETRATION. |
| | |
| | NOTE: WHILE THE DESIGN IS PERMITTED TO EXCEED MINIMUM |
| | CODE REQUIREMENTS, A SHAFT ENCLOSURE IS NOT REQUIRED AT |
| | THIS LOCATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 607.6.1. |
| | PROVIDING THE TWO FIRE DAMPERS SHOWN ON M-102A AND TWO |
| | FIRE DAMPERS AT THE WALL PENETRATIONS BETWEEN ROOMS 231 |
| | AND 235 WOULD ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR A SHAFT ENCLOSURE |
| | AND THE 6 COMBINATION FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS SHOWN ON |
| | M-103A. THIS, OF COURSE, DEPENDS ON THE DESIGN INTENT. |
| | |
| | 30. PG M-103A: IN EXITWAY 230, PROVIDE A |
| | THROUGH-PENETRATION FIRESTOP SYSTEM DETAIL FOR THE 6 |
| | INCH ROUND EXHAUST DUCT PENETRATING THE RATED WALL INTO |
| | EXITWAY 230 WITH NO FIRE DAMPER IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 607.1.1. |
| | NOTE: THERE ARE A FEW DUCT PENETRATIONS IN THIS AREA |
| | WHICH WOULD QUALIFY FOR AN EXCEPTION TO THE SMOKE |
| | DAMPER REQUIREMENTS FBCM 607.5.4(3), DEPENDING ON THE |
| | DESIGN INTENT. |
| | |
| | 31 THROUGH 38: OK |
| | |
| | 39. M-105A AND M-105B: PLEASE SEE COMMENT #24 ABOVE. |
| | ALSO, WIND RESISTANCE CRITERIA FOR OUTDOOR APPLIANCES |
| | WILL BE COVERED BY PROVISO ONCE ALL OTHER OUTSTANDING |
| | COMMENTS ARE ADDRESSED AND PRIOR TO PERMIT ISSUANCE. |
| | |
| | 40. OK |
| | |
| | 41. PG M-404: PLEASE SHOW HEIGHT OF EXHAUST DISCHARGE |
| | ABOVE ROOF TO BE MINIMUM 40 INCHES IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | FBCM 506.3.12.1. ALSO, PLEASE SEE PG M-105A REGARDING |
| | THE LOCATION OF KEF-1. EXHAUST OUTLETS SHALL BE LOCATED |
| | NOT LESS THAN 10 FEET HORIZONTALLY FROM PARTS OF THE |
| | SAME OR CONTIGUOUS BUILDINGS, ADJACENT PROPERTY LINES |
| | AND AIR INTAKE OPENINGS INTO ANY BUILDING IN ACCORDANCE |
| | WITH FBCM 506.3.12.3. THE MINIMUM HORIZONTAL DISTANCE |
| | BETWEEN VERTICAL DISCHARGE FANS AND PARAPET-TYPE |
| | BUILDING STRUCTURES SHALL BE 2 FEET PROVIDED THAT SUCH |
| | STRUCTURES ARE NOT HIGHER THAN THE TOP OF THE FAN |
| | DISCHARGE OPENING IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 506.5.5. |
| | |
| | 42. OK |
