| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | FBC 2004 CODE FAMILY W/ 2007 SUPPLEMENTS |
| | FBC CH.1 AS AMENDED BY THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | |
| | 1. PG AC-1: GENERAL NOTE #2 CALLS FOR RETURN DUCT TO BE |
| | TIGHT TO UNDERSIDE OF SUPPLY DUCT. SUFFICIENT SPACE |
| | SHALL BE PROVIDED ADJACENT TO ALL MECHANICAL COMPONENTS |
| | LOCATED IN OR FORMING A PART OF THE AIR DISTRIBUTION |
| | SYSTEM TO ASSURE ADEQUATE ACCESS FOR (1) CONSTRUCTION |
| | AND SEALING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF |
| | SECTION 603.1 OF THIS CODE; (2) INSPECTION; AND (3) |
| | CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 603.1.3. SHOW HOW THIS IS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THESE |
| | TWO DUCT SYSTEMS TIGHT TO EACH OTHER. |
| | |
| | 2. PG AC-2: GENERAL NOTES #1 INDICATES THAT EF-1 AND |
| | EF-2 ARE TO BE LOCATED ON ROOF ABOVE THE GARAGE, BUT |
| | THE GARAGE VENTILATION PLAN AND THE FAN SCHEDULE CALL |
| | FOR EF-7 AND EF-8 TO BE FOR THE GARAGE. PLEASE |
| | COORDINATE PLANS, SCHEDULES AND NOTES TO CLARIFY THE |
| | SCOPE OF WORK. FBCM 401.1 AND FBCB 106.1.1. |
| | |
| | 3. PG AC-2: PLEASE INDICATE ON PLANS THE SOURCE OF |
| | MAKEUP AIR FOR EF-7 IN GARAGE. PLAN INDICATES SF-1 WILL |
| | ONLY OPERATE DURING CO ALARM MODE IN CONJUNCTION WITH |
| | EF-8. |
| | |
| | 4. PG AC-2: PLEASE INDICATE ON PLANS WHICH METHOD WAS |
| | USED FOR DESIGN OF THE VENTILATION (OUTDOOR AIR). ONE |
| | OF TWO METHODS SHALL BE SELECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | FBCM 403.1 AND 403.4. IT APPEARS THAT TABLE 403.3 WAS |
| | USED. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME CALCULATIONS WHICH DO NOT |
| | CORRESPOND WITH THE TABLE. EXAMPLE: THE RECEPTION AREA |
| | IS SHOWN AS BEING 465 SQUARE FEET. THE TABLE PUTS THE |
| | OCCUPANT LOAD AT 60 PEOPLE PER 1000SF FOR A TOTAL |
| | OCCUPANT LOAD OF 28 PEOPLE. THE TABLE ALSO CALLS FOR A |
| | VENTILATION RATE OF 15CFM PER PERSON. THIS GIVES A |
| | REQUIREMENT OF 420CFM OF OUTDOOR AIR FOR THIS AREA. |
| | THERE ARE OTHER AREAS WHICH APPEAR TO BE MISCALCULATED. |
| | PLEASE VERIFY ALL VALUES ON THE OUTDOOR AIR SUMMARY |
| | PRIOR TO RESUBMITTAL. |
| | |
| | |
| | 5. PG AC-2: AIR CONDITIONING CONTROL SEQUENCE NOTE #4 |
| | CALLS FOR EXHAUST FANS TO BE INTERLOCKED WITH ROOM |
| | LIGHT SWITCHES. WHERE MECHANICAL EXHAUST IS REQUIRED BY |
| | TABLE 403.3, RECIRCULATION OF AIR FROM SUCH SPACES |
| | SHALL BE PROHIBITED. ALL AIR SUPPLIED TO SUCH SPACES |
| | SHALL BE EXHAUSTED, INCLUDING ANY AIR IN EXCESS OF THAT |
| | REQUIRED BY TABLE 403.3 IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 403.2.1(3). SINCE NOTE #1 REQUIRES SUPPLY FANS TO RUN |
| | CONTINUOUS DURING OCCUPIED MODE, HOW WILL THE AIR BEING |
| | SUPPLIED TO THE TOILET ROOMS BE EXHAUSTED WHEN LIGHT |
| | SWITCHES ARE TURNED OFF? SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH THIS |
| | SECTION BY EITHER INTERLOCKING EXHAUST FANS WITH AHU?S |
| | OR USING TRANSFER DUCTS FOR MAKEUP AIR TO THESE ROOMS. |
| | |
| | 6. PG AC-2: PLAN SHOWS FOUR CONDENSING UNITS ON ROOF. |
| | 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 FBCM 301.13. |
| | ALSO, CLEARANCES FOR ROOFTOP EQUIPMENT AND APPLIANCES |
| | SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB 1509.7. PROVIDE DETAIL |
| | FOR ROOF CURBS OR PRODUCT APPROVAL FOR PRE-ENGINEERED |
| | A/C STANDS AS APPROPRIATE FOR THE INSTALLATION METHOD |
| | CHOSEN. IF OTHER THAN A PRE-ENGINEERED SYSTEM IS USED, |
| | PROVIDE WIND LOAD CALCULATIONS WITH CORRESPONDING |
| | ATTACHMENT DETAILS. |
| | |
| | 7. ENERGY CALCULATIONS: THERE ARE SOME BUILDING |
| | ENVELOPE COMPONENTS IN THE INPUT DATA REPORT (IDR) |
| | WHICH DO NOT CORRESPOND WITH THE INFORMATION ON THE |
| | PLANS. EXAMPLE: THERE ARE NO DOORS SHOWN IN THE IDR |
| | WHILE THE ARCHITECTURAL FLOOR PLAN SHOWS NEW DOORS |
| | BEING INSTALLED. EXAMPLE: THE IDR CALLS FOR R-22.2 ON |
| | THE ROOF, INCLUDING R-19 MINERAL WOOL BATTS. |
| | ARCHITECTURAL PLANS DO NOT CALL FOR R-19 BATTS. PLEASE |
| | SHOW ON PLANS HOW THE R-22.2 IS TO BE ACHIEVED OR |
| | ADJUST CALCULATIONS TO THE R-VALUE OF THE EXISTING ROOF |
| | SYSTEM PLUS THE INSULATION BEING ADDED AS SHOWN ON |
| | REFLECTIVE CEILING PLAN. THE OWNER SHALL DEMONSTRATE TO |
| | THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT?S SATISFACTION THAT ALL |
| | R-VALUES AND EQUIPMENT EFFICIENCIES CLAIMED ARE |
| | PRESENT. IF THE BUILDING WAS BUILT AFTER 1980, THE |
| | ORIGINAL ENERGY CODE SUBMITTAL MAY BE USED TO |
| | DEMONSTRATE EFFICIENCIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB |
| | 13-101.4.2.1. |
| | |
| | 8. PG A2.3 SHOWS SKYLIGHTS WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT REMAIN. |
| | IS THE HEAT GAIN FROM THE SKYLIGHTS INCLUDED IN THE |
| | COOLING LOAD CALCULATIONS FOR A/C SIZING? DO THESE |
| | SKYLIGHTS HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE R-VALUE OF THE ROOF |
| | SYSTEM? PLEASE CLARIFY AND INDICATE WHETHER OR NOT |
| | THESE SKYLIGHTS WILL REMAIN. THE PLANS AND |
| | SPECIFICATIONS, INCLUDING THE ENERGY CODE CALCULATIONS, |
| | SHALL SHOW, IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL, ALL PERTINENT DATA |
| | AND FEATURES OF THE BUILDING IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB |
| | 13-103.2. |
