| | NOTE: WHILE THIS IS THE SECOND PLAN REVIEW FOR PERMIT, |
| | THE EXTENT OF DESIGN CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS REVIEW |
| | (AREAS IDENTIFIED ON PLANS WITH CLOUDS AS HAVING BEEN |
| | CHANGED) MAKES IT NECESSARY TO REVIEW ALL SYSTEMS AND |
| | DESIGNS COMPLETELY. |
| | |

| | SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 606.2.1. |
| | |
| | 3. PAGE M-2: THERE ARE MULTIPLE UNPROTECTED DUCT |
| | PENETRATIONS AND AIR TRANSFER OPENINGS SHOWN ON FLOOR |
| | PLANS AT FIRE RATED WALL PENETRATIONS. EXAMPLES ARE IN |
| | AREAS SUCH AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES, RESTROOMS AND |
| | ZAMBONI STORAGE ROOM. ONE SET OF PLANS HAS BEEN |
| | MARKED-UP TO IDENTIFY THESE LOCATIONS. SHOW HOW ALL |
| | DUCT PENETRATIONS AND AIR TRANSFER OPENING AT RATED |
| | WALL ASSEMBLIES ARE TO BE PROTECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | FBCM 607.5. |
| | |
| | 4. PAGES M-1 AND M-2: FLOOR PLAN CALLS FOR RUSKIN MODEL |
| | #DFSDR1 ROUND FIRE/SMOKE DAMPER AT SEVERAL WALL |

| | USE AS A CEILING DAMPER AT PENETRATIONS OF HORIZONTAL |
| | ASSEMBLES SUCH AS TUNNEL CORRIDOR CEILINGS OR AT |
| | MEMBRANE PENETRATIONS OF FLOOR/CEILING ASSEMBLIES. THEY |
| | ARE NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED TO BE INSTALLED AT |
| | VERTICAL WALL ASSEMBLIES. THERE ARE NO INSTALLATION |
| | INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUCH AN APPLICATION. FIRE DAMPERS, |
| | COMBINATION FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS AND CEILING DAMPERS |
| | LOCATED WITHIN AIR DISTRIBUTION SHALL BE INSTALLED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION, AND |
| | THE MANUFACTURER?S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND |
| | LISTING PER FBCM 607.2. PLEASE INDICATE ON PLANS THE |
| | PROPER DAMPER FOR THE PROPER APPLICATION IN ACCORDANCE |

| | |
| | 5. PAGE M-2: FLOOR PLAN SHOWS AT LEAST ONE DUCT |
| | PENETRATION BEING PROTECTED BY A FIRE/SMOKE DAMPER |
| | WHERE NO RATED WALL ASSEMBLY IS SHOWN. AN EXAMPLE WOULD |
| | BE A 4 INCH ROUND FLEX DUCT PENETRATING A WALL NEAR THE |
| | LAUNDRY ROOM AT THE ADJACENT CLOSET. PLEASE CONFIRM |
| | THAT DAMPERS ARE ONLY SHOWN AT RATED WALL ASSEMBLIES IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR LISTING PER FBCM 607.2. |
| | |
| | 6. PAGE M-2: FLOOR PLAN SHOWS A 4 INCH ROUND DRYER |
| | EXHAUST DUCT PENETRATING A RATED WALL ASSEMBLY WITH A |
| | FIRE/SMOKE DAMPER AT THE PENETRATION. FIRE DAMPERS, |
| | COMBINATION FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS AND ANY SIMILAR DEVICES |
| | THAT WILL OBSTRUCT THE EXHAUST FLOW, SHALL BE |
| | PROHIBITED IN CLOTHES DRYER EXHAUST DUCTS IN ACCORDANCE |
| | WITH FBCM 504.2. THIS DUCT PENETRATION CAN BE PROTECTED |
| | WITH THE THROUGH-PENETRATION FIRESTOP DETAIL WHICH IS |
| | ALREADY SHOWN ON THE PLANS. PLEASE REMOVE THE DAMPER |
| | FROM THE PLANS AT THIS LOCATION AND CALL FOR THE |
| | THROUGH-PENETRATION FIRESTOP SYSTEM TO BE USED AT THIS |
| | LOCATION. |
| | |
| | 7. PAGE M-2: FLOOR PLAN SHOWS SEVERAL FLEX DUCTS |
| | ATTACHING DIRECTLY TO THE FIRE/SMOKE DAMPERS. ACCESS |
| | DOORS ARE REQUIRED AT THESE LOCATIONS. PLEASE SHOW HOW |
| | DUCT ACCESS TO THESE DAMPERS IS TO BE PROVIDED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 607.4. |
| | |
| | 8. PAGE M-2 SHOWS DRYER EXHAUST DUCT EXCEEDING 25 FEET |
| | IN LENGTH. SHOW HOW EXHAUST DUCT IS TO BE ROUTED AND |

| | LENGTHS IN EXCESS OF 25 FEET. DRYER MANUFACTURER?S |
| | INSTRUCTIONS MAY BE PROVIDED TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE |
| | WITH THIS SECTION. |
| | |
| | 9. PAGE M-2 INDICATES THAT EXHAUST FANS IN THE |
| | REFRIGERATION MACHINERY ROOM WILL ONLY OPERATE AT FULL |
| | SPEED UNDER EMERGENCY CONDITIONS. MECHANICAL |
| | VENTILATION SHALL BE CAPABLE OF EXHAUSTING THE MINIMUM |
| | QUANTITY OF AIR BOTH AT NORMAL OPERATING AND EMERGENCY |
| | CONDITIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 1105.6. PLEASE SHOW |
| | HOW THE REQUIRED MINIMUM VENTILATION RATE OF NOT LESS |
| | THAN 0.5 CFM PER SQUARE FOOT IS TO BE ACHIEVED IN THE |
| | REFRIGERATION MACHINERY ROOM IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 1105.6.3. |
| | |
| | 10. PAGE M-1: AIR BALANCE SCHEDULE CALLS FOR 9000 CFM |
| | MAKEUP AIR UNIT. NO INFORMATION COULD BE FOUND ON |
| | PLANS, EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE OR ENERGY CALCULATIONS FOR |
| | THIS UNIT. PLEASE PROVIDE LOCATION, INSTALLATION |
| | DETAIL, INFORMATION ON EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE AND ALL |
| | RELEVANT INFORMATION ON PLANS AND IN ENERGY |
| | CALCULATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCB 106.1.1, FBCM |
| | 304.1 AND FBCB 13-100.2. |

| | DRAIN IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 307.2.3(1). THE DETAIL |
| | ALSO SHOWS A FLOAT SWITCH IN THE AUXILIARY DRAIN PAN. |
| | THE USE OF A WATER LEVEL DETECTION DEVICE IN THE |
| | AUXILIARY PAN MAY BE USED IN LIEU OF THE SECONDARY |
| | DRAIN PER FBCM 307.2.3(3), MAKING THE SECONDARY DRAIN |
| | LINE UNNECESSARY. PLEASE CLARIFY THE TYPE OF AUXILIARY |
| | DRAIN PROTECTION TO BE USED AT THE AHUS. |
