| | ** PROVISO ** |
| | |
| | ** A PROVISO IS BEING GIVEN AFTER CALL WAS MADE TO |
| | ENGINEERING FIRM. THE DESIGNER AND ENGINEER OF RECORD |
| | WERE NOT AVAILABLE. HOWEVER ANOTHER DESIGNER FROM THE |
| | FIRM KNOWN TO THIS REVIEWER WAS AVAILABLE TO GO OVER |
| | COMMENTS. A REQUEST THAT A PROVISO WAS GRANTED AND |
| | PLANS TO BE REDLINED WAS GONE OVER. A CALL WAS PLACED |
| | TO GC TO LET THEM KNOW THE OUTCOME OF REVIEW AND PHONE |
| | CALL. |
| | |
| | 1) NOTE: THE PREVIOUS COMMENT FROM MR. WILLIAM TROBAUGH |
| | WAS NOT ADDRESSED. THE COMMENT MADE WAS THAT THE USE OF |
| | METHOD *A* WAS NOT PERMITTED. |
| | THE RESPONSE LETTER FROM DESIGN TEAM STATES THIS IS AN |
| | *ADDITION* TO AN EXISTING BUILDING. SUPPORTING |
| | DOCUMENTATION WAS SUBMITTED WITH COPIES OF SEVERAL |
| | SECTIONS OF THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE. |
| | |
| | THE INPUT DATA REPORT IS NOT COMPLETE FOR THIS BEING AN |
| | ADDITION. |
| | |
| | THE CONFUSION COMES WHEN THE RESPONSE LETTER FROM |
| | DESIGN TEAM CLEARLY STATES METHOD *B* CAN NOT BE USED |
| | BASED ON THIS BEING AN ADDITION. HOWEVER THE LIGHTING |
| | PLANS SUBMITTED CLEARLY INDICATE METHOD *B*. IN FACT |
| | THE PLANS STATE COMPLIANCE FOR SPACE BY SPACE PER |
| | 13-415.B.1. THIS IS IN CONFLICT WITH THE RESPONSE |
| | LETTER AND SUBMITTED SUPPORTING FLA COM METHOD *A*. |
| | PLEASE SEE 13-415.AB.5 OF THE FBC. THIS SECTION CLEARLY |
| | STATES THE FOLLOWING. |
| | |
| | ** TRADE-OFFS OF INTERIOR LIGHTING POWER ALLOWANCE |
| | AMONG PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING FOR WHICH A DIFFERENT |
| | METHOD OF CALCULATION HAS BEEN USED IS NOT PERMITTED*. |
| | |
| | THIS MEANS IT IS NOT PERMISSIBLE TO USE TWO DIFFERENT |
| | METHODS TO SHOW COMPLIANCE. THE SUBMITTED INPUT DATA |
| | REPORT OF THE METHOD *A* IN BOTH CASES IS NOT COMPLETE. |
| | SOME INFORMATION ON THE IDR IS NOT WHAT IS SHOWN/STATED |
| | ON PLANS AND/OR INCOMPLETE FOR WHOLE BUILDING/ WHOLE |
| | ADDITION COMPLIANCE. |
| | |
| | ** THEREFORE COMPLIANCE FOR METHOD B AS SHOWN ON PLANS |
| | FOR PRESCRIPTIVE FOR NEW BEING INSTALLED IS ACCEPTABLE. |
| | 13-415.AB.5, 13-415.B.1, 13-400.0.B.4. "LAST SENTENCE |
| | FOR * BUILDINGS NOT MEETING THE DEFINITION OF A |
| | RENOVATION. |
| | |
| | 2) NOTE: COMPLIANCE FOR NEW LIGHTING CONTROLS BEING |
| | INSTALLED SHALL MEET 13-415.AB.1.1,.1.2. THE PREVIOUS |
| | REVIEW DOES NOT HAVE ANY COMMENTS RELEVANT TO THESE |
| | SECTIONS. THIS IS A BUILDING LARGER THAN 5K SQ FT. BY |
| | DEFINITION IT IS NOT WHETHER OR NOT A TENANT SPACE IS |
| | OVER 5K SQ FT. |
| | AUTOMATED CONTROLS OF SOME KIND ARE REQUIRED. THERE ARE |
| | SEVERAL WAYS TO COMPLY FOR MINIMUM CODE COMPLIANCE. |
| | PLEASE CHOSE ONE OR MORE AND REVISE PLANS. |
| | ** THIS IS REQUIRED FOR NEW ONLY. |
| | |
| | 3) NOTE: LOAD CALCULATIONS DO NOT SHOW LOADS FOR SHOW |
| | WINDOWS FIGURED PER 220.14G AND 220.43A. |
| | PLEASE ALSO INDICATE ALL CONTINUOUS LOADS AND LARGEST |
| | MOTOR LOADS AT 125%. IF ALREADY FIGURED INTO SERVICE |
| | THEN PLEASE SHOW WHERE OR NOTE THIS WAS DONE ON PLANS. |
| | 215.3, 230.42 ETC |
| | |
| | *** PLEASE SUBMIT REVISED PLANS BEFORE ANY ROUGH |
| | ELECTRICAL INSPECTIONS. A HOLD WILL BE PLACED ON |
| | ELECTRICAL SUB PERMIT UNTIL REVISED PLANS ARE |
| | SUBMITTED, REVIEWED AND STAMPED FOR CODE COMPLIANCE. |
| | |
| | ** LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEMS, INCLUDING FIRE ALARMS ARE NOT |
| | INCLUDED. SEPARATE PERMITS AS INDICATED ON PLANS |
| | REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS; OR IF COMMENTS ARE NOT |
| | TYPED IN A CLEAR MANNER PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO |
| | CONTACT THIS REVIEWER. |
