| | |
| | 1. THE JOB DESCRIPTION ON THE PERMIT APPLICATION IS |
| | STILL DESCRIBING THIS WORK AS TOWNHOUSES. BY DEFINITION |
| | IN FBCB SECTION 202, THESE ARE NOT TOWNHOUSES AND WILL |
| | CONTINUE TO BE REVIEWED UNDER THE FBC AS R-2 |
| | MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS. |
| | |
| | 2. ENERGY CODE COMPLIANCE FORMS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED. |
| | HOWEVER, THE BUILDING ENVELOPE COMPONENTS SHOWN ON THE |
| | COMPLIANCE FORM BARE NO RESEMBLANCE TO THE COMPONENTS |
| | SHOWN ON THE ARCHITECTURAL PLANS. PLEASE SEE BUILDING |
| | PLAN REVIEW FOR MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION. ALSO, A |
| | COOLING AND HEATING LOAD CALCULATION SHALL BE PERFORMED |
| | ON THE BUILDING AND SHALL BE ATTACHED TO THE FORM 600 |
| | SUBMITTED WHEN APPLICATION IS MADE FOR A BUILDING |
| | PERMIT IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB 13-607.1.ABC.1. COOLING |

| | FBCB 301.13.1. PLEASE NOTE THAT 301.13.1 IS ONLY |
| | APPLICABLE TO R-3 OCCUPANCIES. AS STATED IN COMMENT #1 |
| | ABOVE, THESE BUILDINGS ARE CLASSIFIED AS R-2 |
| | OCCUPANCIES. THEREFORE, AN ENGINEERED DESIGN OF |
| | ATTACHMENT WITH SUPPORTING WIND LOAD CALCULATIONS IS |
| | REQUIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 301.13. PLEASE PROVIDE |
| | THE REQUESTED INFORMATION AND RESUBMIT. |
| | |
| | 7. PAGE M-1 THROUGH M-4 CALL FOR 1 INCH CPVC PIPE TO BE |
| | USED FOR CONDENSATE. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION WAS |
| | REQUESTED SHOWING THAT THE SPECIFIED SIZE OF CPVC WOULD |
| | MEET THE 25/50 RATING WHEN TESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | ASTM E84 PER FBCM 602.2.1. NO SUCH DOCUMENTATION WAS |
| | PROVIDED. THE ONLINE DOCUMENTATION WHICH WAS RESEARCHED |
| | DURING THIS REVIEW INDICATES THAT ONLY 1/2 INCH AND 3/4 |
| | INCH CPVC HAS MET THE 25/50 REQUIREMENT WHEN NOT FILLED |
| | WITH WATER. CONDENSATE DRAIN PIPES ARE NOT FILLED WITH |
| | WATER AND THEREFORE 1 INCH CPVC IS NOT ACCEPTABLE IN |
| | THE PLENUM SPACES PER FBCM 602.2.1. PLEASE BE REMINDED |
| | THAT 3/4 INCH CPVC DOES NOT MEET THE INTERNAL DIAMETER |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF FBCM 307.2.2. PLEASE SHOW A CONDENSATE |
| | DRAIN MATERIAL WITHIN THE PLENUM SPACE WHICH MEETS THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF BOTH CODE SECTIONS REFERENCED ABOVE. |
