| 2009-10-17 13:34:01 | REVIEW #: 2ND |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | FBC 2007 CODE FAMILY W/ 2009 SUPPLEMENTS |
| | FBC CH.1 AS AMENDED BY THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | |
| | THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ARE NUMBERED TO CORRESPOND WITH |
| | PREVIOUS REVIEW COMMENTS AS WELL AS DESIGNER'S WRITTEN |
| | RESPONSES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTINUITY. |
| | |
| | 1. PLAN INDICATES 4" ROUND SUPPLY DUCT TO COMPLY WITH |
| | EXCEPTION #3 PER FBC-M 607.5.3. FIRST, FLEX DUCTS MAY |
| | NOT PENETRATE ANY FIRE RESISTANCE RATED ASSEMBLY IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH FBC-M 607.7. PLAN STILL SHOWS FLEX DUCT |
| | PENETRATING THE RATED WALL. ALSO, ANY DUCT PENETRATION |
| | NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE A FIRE DAMPER SHALL COMPLY WITH |
| | SECTION 712 OF THE FBC-B PER FBC-M 607.1.1. |
| | NOTE: THIS ISSUE CAN BE ELIMINATED BY MOVING THE 4" |
| | ROUND TAP FURTHER DOWNSTREAM IN THE SUPPLY TRUNK TO THE |
| | OTHER SIDE OF THE RATED WALL, ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR |
| | THE 4" SUPPLY DUCT TO PENETRATE ANY RATED ASSEMBLIES. |
| | |
| | 2. OK |
| | |
| | 3. PROVIDE BOOSTER FAN MANUFACTURER'S INSTALLATION |
| | INSTRUCTIONS AS WELL AS ANY LISTING INFORMATION PER |
| | FBC-M 504.6. NO SUCH LISTING COULD BE FOUND. ALSO, |
| | PROVIDE DRYER MANUFACTURER'S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
| | WHICH SHOW PROVISIONS FOR A DRYER BOOSTER FAN AS WELL |
| | AS FOR INTERLOCKING OF BOSSTER FAN WITH DRYER. CLOTHES |
| | DRYERS SHALL BE EXHAUSTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS PER FBC-M 504.1. |
| | NOTE: IT IS LIKELY THAT A CLOTHES DRYER CAN BE FOUND |
| | AND SPECIFIED WHICH WILL ALLOW THE LENGTH OF DRYER DUCT |
| | SHOWN ON PLANS WITHOUT THE USE OF A BOSSTER FAN. IF |
| | THIS OPTION IS USED, PROVIDE THE DRYER MANUFACTURER'S |
| | INSTRUCTIONS WHICH SHOW THE ALLOWABLE DUCT LENGTH IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH FBC-M 504.6.1. |
| | |
| | 4 THROUGH 8: OK |
| | |
| | 9. THE OCCUPANT LOADS AND VENTILATION RATES SHOWN ON |
| | PAGE M2.01 VENTILATION CALCULATIONS DO NOT CORRESPOND |
| | WITH THE VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS BASED ON ASHRAE |
| | 62.1-2004 TABLE 6-1. THE BAR, LOUNGE, FOYER AND |
| | BILLIARD AREAS SHALL BE CALCULATED WITH AN OCCUPANT |
| | LOAD OF 100 PEOPLE PER 1000 SQUARE FEET AND AT A |
| | VENTILATION RATE OF 7.5 CFM/PERSON PLUS 0.18 CFM/SQ FT |
| | OF AREA. |
| | NOTE: WHILE IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT VENTILATION |
| | CALCULATIONS SHOULD NOT BE PERFORMED BASED ON BUILDING |
| | CODE OCCUPANT LOADS, IT IS UNNREASONABLE TO PROVIDE |
| | VENTILATION CALCULATIONS FOR 22 PEOPLE WHEN THE LIFE |
| | SAFETY PLAN SHOWS AN OCCUPANT LOAD OF 121 PEOPLE. |
| | |
| | 10. BASED ON COMMENT #9 ABOVE, IT IS LIKELY THAT |
| | MOTORIZED DAMPERS WILL BE REQUIRED ON OUTSIDE AIR |
| | INTAKES PER FBC-B 13-409.AB.3.3. ALSO, PROVIDE UPDATED |
| | COOLING LOAD CALCULATIONS SHOWING INCREASED VENTILATION |
| | RATES AND PROPERLY SIZED APPLIANCES IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | FBC-M 312.1 AND FBC-B 13-407.AB.1. |
