| | |
| | 1) THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE FIFTH EDITION (2014) |
| | MECHANICAL WENT INTO EFFECT ON JUNE 30, 2015: PLEASE |
| | UPDATE THE 2010 CODE REFERENCE ON SHEET 1, AND UPDATE |
| | THE PLANS TO BE IN COMPLIANCE. |
| | 2. THE COMBUSTION AIR CALCULATION SHOWN ON SHEET 1 IS |
| | INCORRECT. PLEASE REVIEW SECTIONS 304.9 & 304.9.3 |
| | FBC-14 FUEL GAS. |
| | 304.9: MECHANICAL COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY. WHERE ALL |
| | COMBUSTION AIR IS PROVIDED BY A MECHANICAL AIR SUPPLY |
| | SYSTEM, THE COMBUSTION AIR SHALL BE SUPPLIED FROM THE |
| | OUTDOORS AT A RATE NOT LESS THAN 0.35 CUBIC FEET PER |
| | MINUTE PER 1,000 BTU/H (0.034 M3/MIN PER KW) OF TOTAL |
| | INPUT RATING OF ALL APPLIANCES LOCATED WITHIN THE |
| | SPACE. |
| | 304.9.3: COMBINED COMBUSTION AIR AND VENTILATION AIR |
| | SYSTEM. WHERE COMBUSTION AIR IS PROVIDED BY THE |
| | BUILDING'S MECHANICAL VENTILATION SYSTEM, THE SYSTEM |
| | SHALL PROVIDE THE SPECIFIED COMBUSTION AIR RATE IN |
| | ADDITION TO THE REQUIRED VENTILATION AIR. |
| | PLEASE REVISE THE PLANS TO SHOW COMPLIANCE. |
| | 3) REVIEW SECTION 508.11 FBC-14 MECHANICAL: MAKE AIR |
| | TEMPERATURE. |
| | THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN MAKEUP AIR AND THE |
| | AIR IN THE CONDITIONED SPACE SHALL NOT EXCEED 10 |
| | DEGREES F (6 DEGREES C) EXCEPT WHERE THE ADDED HEATING |
| | AND COOLING LOADS OF THE MAKEUP AIR DO NOT EXCEED THE |
| | CAPACITY OF THE HVAC SYSTEM. |
| | GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE DRYBULB TEMPERATURE FOR WEST |
| | PALM BEACH IS 90 DEGREES, PLEASE INDICATE HOW WILL THE |
| | SUPPLY AIR WILL BE COOLED TO MEET THIS CODE |
| | REQUIREMENT. |
| | 4) PLEASE PLACE A NOTE ON THE PLAN INDICATING THAT THE |
| | GAS APPLIANCES AND GAS PIPING WILL BE DONE UNDER A |
| | SEPARATE PERMIT. |
