| | PERMIT #15080487 |
| | 8/20/15 |
| | |
| | 1) DESIGN CRITERIA: PROVIDE A LIST OF CURRENT CODES AND |
| | STANDARDS USED IN THE DESIGN OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT. |
| | 2) PROVIDE THE LEVEL OF ALTERATION ON THE PLAN IN |
| | COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 501 FBC-14 EXISTING BUILDING |
| | CODE. THE SUBMITTED PLANS APPEAR TO INDICATE A LEVEL II |
| | ALTERATION THEREFORE MY REVIEW WILL BE IN ACCORDANCE |
| | WITH CHAPTER 8, AND THE FBC-14 MECHANICAL CODE. |
| | 3) REFER TO SECTION 809 FBC-14 FBC-14 EXISTING BUILDING |
| | CODE: |
| | 809.1 RECONFIGURED OR CONVERTED SPACES. |
| | ALL RECONFIGURED SPACES INTENDED FOR OCCUPANCY AND ALL |
| | SPACES CONVERTED TO HABITABLE OR OCCUPIABLE SPACE IN |
| | ANY WORK AREA SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH NATURAL OR |
| | MECHANICAL VENTILATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FLORIDA |
| | BUILDING CODE, MECHANICAL. |
| | EXCEPTION: EXISTING MECHANICAL VENTILATION SYSTEMS |
| | SHALL COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 809.2. |
| | |
| | 809.2 ALTERED EXISTING SYSTEMS. |
| | IN MECHANICALLY VENTILATED SPACES, EXISTING MECHANICAL |
| | VENTILATION SYSTEMS THAT ARE ALTERED, RECONFIGURED, OR |
| | EXTENDED SHALL PROVIDE NOT LESS THAN 5 CUBIC FEET PER |
| | MINUTE (CFM) (0.0024 M3/S) PER PERSON OF OUTDOOR AIR |
| | AND NOT LESS THAN 15 CFM (0.0071 M3/S) OF VENTILATION |
| | AIR PER PERSON; OR NOT LESS THAN THE AMOUNT OF |
| | VENTILATION AIR DETERMINED BY THE INDOOR AIR QUALITY |
| | PROCEDURE OF ASHRAE 62. |
| | |
| | IN REFERENCE TO THE ABOVE SECTIONS PROVIDE VENITLATION |
| | CALCULATIONS FOR ALL ROOMS AND SPACES- INCLUDING A |
| | SCHEDULE THAT SHOWS THE REQUIRED AND PROVIDED CFM'S OF |
| | O/A AIR. |
| | |
| | 4) SHEET 5: PROVIDE A SCOPE OF WORK FOR MECHANICAL |
| | DEMOLITION AND MECHANICAL ALTERATIONS WITH KEY NOTES |
| | AND CORRESPONDING DETAILS ON THE PLAN. CLARIFY IF THE |
| | ENTIRE AC SYSTEMS ARE BEING REPLACED, OR IF THE AIR |
| | HANDLERS ALONE ARE BEING RELOCATED- NO INFORMATION IS |
| | PROVIDED. PROVIDE AC EQUIPMENT SCHEDULES ON THE PLANS |
| | AND LABEL THE UNITS AS NEW OR EXISTING. PLEASE NOTE |
| | THAT COOLING AND HEATING LOAD CALCULATIONS ARE REQUIRED |
| | FOR NEW SYSTEMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION C403.2.1 |
| | FBC-14 ENERGY CONSERVATION. |
| | 5) SHEET 5: REFER TO SECTION 603.1.1 FBC-14 MECHANICAL |
| | CODE AND SHOW COMPLIANCE: |
| | 603.1.1 SPACE PROVIDED. |
| | SUFFICIENT SPACE SHALL BE PROVIDED ADJACENT TO ALL |
| | MECHANICAL COMPONENTS LOCATED IN OR FORMING A PART OF |
| | THE AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM TO ASSURE ADEQUATE ACCESS |
| | FOR (1) CONSTRUCTION AND SEALING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 603.1 OF THIS CODE; (2) |
| | INSPECTION; AND (3) CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE. A MINIMUM |
| | OF 4 INCHES (102 MM) IS CONSIDERED SUFFICIENT SPACE |
| | AROUND AIR HANDLING UNITS. |
| | EXCEPTION: RETROFIT OR REPLACEMENT UNITS NOT PART OF A |
| | RENOVATION ARE EXEMPT FROM THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE |
| | REQUIREMENT. |
| | 6) SHEET 5: REFER TO SECTION 602 AND PROVIDE NOTES AND |
| | DETAILS INCDICATING COMPLIANCE FOR ALL MATERIALS |
| | FORMING THE PLENUM CLOSET AND ALL MATERIALS CONTAINED |
| | WITHIN IT INCLUDING THE CLOSET DOORS, WALLS, CEILING, |
| | AND ALL COMPONENTS OF THE AIR HANDLERS INCLUDING |
| | ELECTRICAL WIRING, PLUMBING PIPING, AND INSULATIONS. |
| | 7) SHEET 5: PROVIDE AN AIR DISTRIBUTION SCHEDULE |
| | LISTING THE MAKES AND MODEL NUMBERS IOF THE SUPPLY |
| | DIFFUSERS AND RETURN GRILLS. |
| | 8) SHEET 5: REFER TO SECTION C403.2.7 (INCLUDING TABLES |
| | AND SUB-SECTIONS): PROVIDE DETAILS FOR DUCT |
| | INSTALLATIONS INCLUDING THE TYPE OF DUCTS, AND SUPPORT, |
| | CONNECTION, AND SEALING DETAILS AND SPECIFICATION. |
| | 9) SHEET 5: PROVIDE EQUIPMENT SCHEDULES FOR THE TOILET |
| | ROOM EXHAUST FANS. |
| | 10) SHEET 5: REFER TO SECTION 601.2 AND CORRECT THE |
| | PLAN THE RETURN AIR SYSTEM ACCORDINGLY- AIR MOVEMENT IN |
| | EGRESS ELEMENTS: |
| | CORRIDORS SHALL NOT SERVE AS SUPPLY, RETURN, EXHAUST, |
| | RELIEF OR VENTILATION AIR DUCTS. |
| | EXCEPTIONS: |
| | 1. USE OF A CORRIDOR AS A SOURCE OF MAKEUP AIR FOR |
| | EXHAUST SYSTEMS IN ROOMS THAT OPEN DIRECTLY ONTO SUCH |
| | CORRIDORS, INCLUDING TOILET ROOMS, BATHROOMS, DRESSING |
| | ROOMS, SMOKING LOUNGES AND JANITOR CLOSETS, SHALL BE |
| | PERMITTED, PROVIDED THAT EACH SUCH CORRIDOR IS DIRECTLY |
| | SUPPLIED WITH OUTDOOR AIR AT A RATE GREATER THAN THE |
| | RATE OF MAKEUP AIR TAKEN FROM THE CORRIDOR. |
| | 2. WHERE LOCATED WITHIN A DWELLING UNIT, THE USE OF |
| | CORRIDORS FOR CONVEYING RETURN AIR SHALL NOT BE |
| | PROHIBITED. |
| | 3. WHERE LOCATED WITHIN TENANT SPACES OF 1,000 SQUARE |
| | FEET (93 M2) OR LESS IN AREA, USE OF CORRIDORS FOR |
| | CONVEYING RETURN AIR IS PERMITTED. |
| | 4. INCIDENTAL AIR MOVEMENT FROM PRESSURIZED ROOMS |
| | WITHIN HEALTH CARE FACILITIES, PROVIDED THAT THE |
| | CORRIDOR IS NOT THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF SUPPLY OR RETURN |
| | TO THE ROOM. |
| | 11) PLEASE NOTE THAT ADDITIONAL COMMENTS MAY OCCUR UPON |
| | REVIEW OF CORRECTED AND RE-SUBMITTED PLANS. |
