| | PLACES DESIGN REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE 2007 FBC W/2009 |
| | SUPPLEMENTS AS WELL AS THE 2008 NFPA-70. |
| | |
| | 2) NOTE: THE SUBMITTED FLORIDA ENERGY CALCULATIONS ARE |
| | NOT FROM THE CURRENT CODE CYCLE. IN FACT THEY ARE FROM |
| | THE 2004 FLA/COM 2.5. |
| | THEY ARE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT FROM NEWER CODE CYCLE |
| | REQUIREMENTS. |

| | PLEASE KNOW THAT ALL ITEMS ON THE PLANS FOR THE |
| | CONSTRUCTION, TYPE, BUILDING CHARACTERISTICS ARE |
| | REQUIRED TO BE IN THE INPUT DATA REPORT OF THE |
| | SUBMITTED CALCULATIONS. |
| | THERE ARE ITEMS EVEN ON THE IDR OF THE 2004 WHICH ARE |
| | NOT CORRELATING WITH THE PLANS. ONE EXAMPLE IS ALL THE |
| | FLOOR AREAS IN THE BUILDING ARE USING CREDIT FOR CARPET |
| | AND RUBBER PADDING HOWEVER THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. AREAS |
| | SUCH AS BATHROOMS, ELECTRICAL ROOMS/AREAS, MECHANICAL |
| | ROOMS AND KITCHEN ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE CARPET AND |
| | RUBBER PADDING NOR ARE THEY PERMITTED TO HAVE CARPET |
| | INSTALLED. |

| | CURRENT CODE. |
| | ** PLEASE BE SURE TO GO THROUGH ALL SYSTEMS AND |
| | COMPONENTS. THIS WAS SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED ON THE |
| | ORIGINAL REVIEW. THIS OFFICE ONCE AGAIN EMPHASIZES THE |
| | IMPORTANCE OF ALL SYSTEMS ON PLANS TO COORDINATE WITH |

| | CALCULATIONS. IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL. |

| | THE RATING OF THE DISCONNECT NEEDS TO COORDINATE WITH |
| | THE BREAKER OCP. |
| | |
