| | REVIEWED PRODUCT APPROVAL DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED 6/28/11. |
| | PLEASE SUBMIT WIND PRESSURE TEST DATA AS REQUESTED IN |
| | THE FOLLOWING EMAIL SENT TO THE PRODUCT MANUFACTURER |
| | AND DISTRIBUTOR: |
| | |
| | I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A COPY OF YOUR EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE |
| | THAT STATES THAT THE SOLATUBE INTERNATIONAL, INC., 14" |
| | SOLAR STAR ATTIC FAN WILL BE UNDERGOING TESTING TO TEST |
| | APPLICATION STANDARD TAS 100(A) - 95 IN JULY 2011. |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE RESULTS FROM THOSE TESTS AS SOON AS |
| | POSSIBLE SO THAT WE CAN ISSUE A PERMIT BASED ON FLORIDA |
| | STATE PRODUCT APPROVAL # FL10884. THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN |
| | USED AT A PROPERTY HERE IN WEST PALM BEACH, FL, AND |
| | THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION IN THE FLORIDA PRODUCT |
| | APPROVAL DOCUMENTATION OR ANY OTHER SOURCE TO SUPPORT |
| | ITS USE IN A RESIDENCE WHERE THE DESIGN WIND SPEED IS |
| | 140 MPH (3 SECOND GUST) AND THE EXPOSURE CATEGORY IS C. |
| | WE NEED TO HAVE THE TAS 100(A) -95 TEST RESULTS OR SOME |
| | OTHER DOCUMENTATION SHOWING SUCCESSFUL TESTING FOR |
| | PRESSURES ASSOCIATED WITH A DESIGN WIND SPEED OF 140 |
| | MPH (3 SECOND GUST), EXPOSURE CATEGORY C, IN TIME FOR A |
| | JULY 29 MAGISTRATE HEARING, OR THE PROPERTY OWNER'S |
| | WILL HAVE TO REQUEST AN EXTENSION WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT |
| | BE GRANTED BY THE MAGISTRATE. |
| | |
| | WE ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THE FACT THAT THE PRODUCT IS |
| | COVERED BY FLORIDA STATE PRODUCT APPROVAL # FL10884. WE |
| | WILL PASS THE INSTALLATION PROVIDED WE CAN ESTABLISH |
| | THAT THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN TESTED TO A WIND DESIGN |
| | PRESSURE THAT EXCEEDS THAT WHICH IS CALCULATED FOR THE |
| | LOCATION AT WHICH THE PRODUCT IS INSTALLED. THE FLORIDA |
| | STATE PRODUCT APPROVAL # FL10884 DOES NOT STATE THE |
| | DESIGN WIND PRESSURE. THE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FROM |
| | PAUL WINTER, P.E., AFFIRMS THAT THE PRODUCT WAS TESTED |
| | TO ASCE 7-02 AND THAT THE TESTING MEETS THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF THE CURRENT 2007 FLORIDA BUILDING CODE. |
| | HOWEVER THE WIND DESIGN WIND SPEEDS REQUIRED TO SHOW |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CURRENT 2007 |
| | FLORIDA BUILDING CODE VARY BASED ON THE SIZE OF THE |
| | BUILDING AND ITS GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION IN THE STATE OF |
| | FLORIDA. A PRODUCT WHICH COMPLIES WHEN USED IN CENTRAL |
| | FLORIDA MAY NOT COMPLY WHEN USED IN COASTAL REGIONS. |
| | THE WEST PALM BEACH DESIGN WIND SPEED IS NOT QUITE AS |
| | HIGH AS MIAIMI-DADE BUT IT IS CLOSE AT 140 MPH. |
