| | THIS REVIEW WAS DONE UNDER THESE CURRENT CODE |
| | CYCLES: |
| | |
| | THE 2004 FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, 2007 REVISIONS, 2004 |
| | RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CODE, 2005 NEC, 2004 FBC CHAPTER 1 |
| | AS AMENDED AND FOUND NONCOMPLIANT WITH THE FOLLOWING: |
| | ALL COMMENTS RELATE TO SHEET E-1.0, UNLESS OTHERWISE |
| | NOTED. |
| | |
| | THESE ARE COMMENTS FROM THE PREVIOUS REVIEW THAT WERE |
| | NOT CORRECTLY RESPONDED TO.***INDICATES FURTHER |
| | EXPLANATION OF PREVIOUS COMMENT |
| | |
| | 2} THE GENERATOR SHOWN ON SHEET E-1.0 MUST BE PERMITTED |
| | SEPARATE***.THE GENERATOR IS STILL SHOWN ON THE RISER |
| | DIAGRAM AND ON THE MECHANICAL SHEETS. REMOVE FROM |
| | PLANS, DESIGNATE AS FUTURE OR PROVIDE ALL DOCUMENTATION |
| | AND PLANS FOR A RESIDENTIAL GENERATOR PERMIT IF IT IS |
| | TO BE PART OF THIS PERMIT. |
| | |
| | 4} PROVIDE LOAD CALCULATIONS PER 220.83(B) TO DETERMINE |
| | IF THE EXISTING SERVICE HAS SUFFICIENT CAPACITY FOR THE |
| | ADDED LOADS. THE "DEMAND CALCULATION" (E-1.0) IS NOT |
| | CORRECT AS H.V.A.C UNITS #3 AND 4 HAVE BEEN OMITTED. |
| | THE CALCULATED LOAD SHOULD INCLUDE THE TOTAL CALCULATED |
| | LOAD BEFORE APPLYING DEMAND FACTORS, THE DEMAND FACTORS |
| | USED, THE CALCULATED LOAD AFTER APPLYING DEMAND |
| | FACTORS, ARTICLE 215.5 NEC 2005*** THE CALCULATION |
| | GIVEN IS INCORRECT PER 220.83. THE AMPERAGE WOULD BE |
| | 212 AMPS AFTER DEMANDS. THE EXISTING SERVICE IS 200 |
| | AMPS.. |
| | |
| | 6} VERIFY THE 2/0 FEEDERS SHOWN ON THE RISER DIAGRAM |
| | FEEDING A 50 AMP PANEL (C) IS WHAT THE DESIGNER |
| | INTENDED. ALTHOUGH NOT A VIOLATION, IF PART OF THE |
| | PERMITTED SET OF PLANS THEY MUST BE INSTALLED, OR A |
| | REVISION WILL BE MUST BE SUBMITTED TO MAKE A CHANGE IN |
| | THE FUTURE***THE PANEL SCHEDULE LISTS THE FEEDER FOR |
| | PANEL "B" AS 40 AMP (NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR THE |
| | CALCULATED LOAD FOR THAT PANEL), AND 60 AMPS FOR PANEL |
| | "C". CORRELATE THE RISER INFORMATIONN WITH THE PANEL |
| | INFORMATIO.. |
| | |
| | 7} THE 1" CONDUIT (SHEET E-1.0 RISER) WITH 3-2/0 AND 1 |
| | #6 CONDUCTORS FEEDING PANEL "A" , "B" AND PANEL "C" IS |
| | IN VIOLATION OF ANNEX "C" TABLES, 2005 NEC***.THIS |
| | ISSUE STILL REMAINS ON THE PLAN, NO CHANGE. |
| | |
| | 13} CIRCUIT B8 SHOULD BE LABELED BATH CIRCUIT IN THE |
| | SCHEDULE PER 408.4*** NOW LABELED CORRECTLY BU ON A 15 |
| | AMP CIRCUIT IN VIOLATION OF.210.11(C)(3)--20 AMP |
| | CIRCUIT. |
| | |
| | 15} THE FREEZER, MICROWAVES (TWO EACH) ICEMAKER AND SPA |
| | ARE NOT LISTED IN THE PANEL SCHEDULE OR IN THE LOAD |
| | CALCS. 220.83(B).*** NO CHANGE , STILL NOT LISTED IN |
| | THE SCHEDULES. |
| | |
| | ALL COMMENTS RELATE TO SHEET E-2.0. |
| | |
| | 20} A SMOKE ALARM IS REQUIRED ON EACH ADDITIONAL STORY |
| | OF THE DWELLING, PER 313.1(A) FBCR. THE FIRST FLOOR OF |
| | THE GARAGE BY THE STAIR WILL MEET THE INTENT***WAS NOT |
| | ADDED, STILL IN VIOLATION.. |
| | |
| | 21} THE LOCATION OF THE DISCONNECTS FOR THE A/C |
| | CONDENSERS DO NOT COMPLY WITH 110.26 CLEARANCE |
| | REQUIREMENTS. A NOTE TO COMPLY WITH THAT ARTICLE WILL |
| | SUFFICE AS THE LOCATION SHOWN IS DIAGRAMMATICALLY*** NO |
| | NOTE ADDED, NO DISCONNECTS LOCATED ON THE PLAN. |
| | |
| | ALL COMMENTS REFER TO SHEET E-2.1 |
| | |
| | 22} THE SMOKE DEVICES ARE LABELED "DETECTORS", SEE THE |
| | DEFINITION OF "SMOKE DETECTORS" 11.8.2.1 NFPA-72, |
| | CLARIFY IF USING DETECTORS OR ALARMS, TO AVOID |
| | CONFUSION IN THE FIELD. IF USING DETECTORS INDICATE THE |
| | LOCATIONS OF THE SOUNDING DEVICES*** NOT ADDRESSED.. |
| | |
| | |
| | 25} PER 313.1 FBCR "WHEN MORE THAN ONE SMOKE ALARM IS |
| | REQUIRED TO BE INSTALLED WITHIN AN INDIVIDUAL DWELLING |
| | UNIT THE ALARM DEVICES SHALL BE INTERCONNECTED IN SUCH |
| | A MANNER THAT THE ACTUATION OF ONE ALARM WILL ACTIVATE |
| | ALL OF THE ALARMS IN THE INDIVIDUAL UNIT." INDICATE THE |
| | CIRCUIT NUMBER AT ALL SMOKE DEVICES TO HELP ELIMINATE |
| | NO CONFUSION IN THE FIELD AT INSTALLATION. ALSO SEE |
| | 210.12 NEC.***THE CIRCUITS ASSIGN TO THE SMOKE ALARMS |
| | ARE MULTIPLE. ALL INTERCONNECTED ALARMS ARE TO BE ON |
| | THE SAME CIRCUIT PER MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS AND TO |
| | PREVENT SHORT CIRCUITS. |
| | |
| | NEW COMMENTS GENERATED BY PLAN CHANGES |
| | |
| | 26} SHEET E-1.0, CIRCUIT A4, PANEL "A" SHOULD BE |
| | LABELED "BATH CIRCUIT". |
| | |
| | 27} PANEL "B", CIRCUITS #B8,B10, AND B12 MUST BE 20 AMP |
| | PER 210.11(C)(1) AND 210.11(C)(3). |
| | |
| | 28 } PANEL "C" CIRCUIT C8 MUST BE LABELED BATH CIRCUIT |
| | AND BE 20 AMPS PER 210.11(C)(3) |
