| 2016-01-27 15:48:08 | YOUR RESUBMITTAL ADDRESSING THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED |
| | DEFICIENCIES HAS ONCE AGAIN FAILED THE ELECTRICAL |
| | REVIEW AS INDICATED BELOW. NEW COMMENTS IF ANY PROMPTED |
| | BY ANOTHER REVIEW, MOST LIKELY DUE TO YOUR FAILURE TO |
| | SUBMIT A RESPONSE LETTER (NARRATIVE) ADDRESSING THE |
| | REQUIRED CORRECTIONS WILL BE NUMBERED IN CONTINUATION |
| | OF ANY PREVIOUS COMMENTS. THESE PLANS HAVE BEEN |
| | REVIEWED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE EDITION OF THE NEC, |
| | (NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE) AND THE FBC, (FLORIDA |
| | BUILDING CODE) AS WELL AS THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | AMENDMENTS IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF SUBMITTAL. |
| | |
| | PER THE NOTES ON THE FIRST ELECTRICAL REVIEW, YOU WERE |
| | INSTRUCTED TO SUBMIT A NARRATIVE INDICATING THE ACTION |
| | TAKEN TO ADDRESS EACH COMMENT NOTED. BELOW IS THE |
| | RESULT OF THE FAILED SECOND REVIEW. |
| | |
| | COMMENT 1. NEC 210.62: AT LEAST ONE RECEPTACLE OUTLET |
| | SHALL BE INSTALLED WITHIN 18? OF THE TOP OF A SHOW |
| | WINDOW FOR EACH 12 LINEAR FT. OR MAJOR PORTION THEREOF |
| | OF SHOW WINDOW AREA MEASURED HORIZONTALLY. |
| | REVIEW RESULT: THERE IS NO INDICATION ON THE PLANS THAT |
| | THIS HAS BEEN ADDRESSED. I DO NOT SEE SHOW WINDOW |
| | OUTLETS ON THE PLANS. |
| | |
| | COMMENT 2. NEC 215.5: A DIAGRAM SHALL BE PROVIDED |
| | SHOWING FEEDER DETAILS. THIS DIAGRAM SHALL INCLUDE LOAD |
| | CALCULATIONS, CONDUCTOR SIZING AND TYPE OF INSULATION |
| | USED. |
| | REVIEW RESULT: YOU WERE ASKED FOR A RISER DIAGRAM WITH |
| | LOAD CALCS AND CONDUCTOR SIZING AND RATING. ON THE |
| | SUBMITTED DIAGRAM YOU FAIL TO INCLUDE THE SOURCE OF |
| | PANEL H. YOU SHALL INCLUDE THE CONDUCTOR SIZING FOR THE |
| | PANELS. FURTHERMORE, AS A RESULT OF THE NEW RISER YOU |
| | INCLUDED PANEL L1 WITH A CONNECTED LOAD OF 81 AMP (29.2 |
| | KVA*1000/360=81) AND AN OCPD OF 60 AMP. IS THIS PANEL |
| | WIRED FOR THE 60 AMP PER THE OCPD, 80 AMPS PER THE |
| | CONNECTED LOAD OR THE 150 AMP FOR THE BUS? |
| | |
| | COMMENT 3. NEC 600.5: EACH COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENT |
| | ACCESSIBLE TO PEDESTRIANS SHALL HAVE AT LEAST ONE |
| | OUTLET IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION AT EACH ENTRANCE FOR |
| | SIGN OR OUTLINE LIGHTING SYSTEM. |
| | REVIEW RESULT: THE CODE SECTION CLEARLY STATES A SIGN |
| | OUTLET IS REQUIRED AT EACH PEDESTRIAN ENTRY. YOU HAVE |
| | PROVIDED THE REQUIRED OUTLET AT THE MAIN ENTRY ONLY. |
| | COMMENT 4. FBC?E C402.4.8: RECESSED LIGHTING INSTALLED |
| | IN THE BUILDING THERMAL ENVELOPE SHALL BE IC RATED AND |
| | SEALED TO LIMIT THE TRANSFER OF AIR BETWEEN CONDITIONED |
| | AND UNCONDITIONED SPACE. |
| | REVIEW RESULT: NOW THAT A FIXTURE SCHEDULE HAS BEEN |
| | SUBMITTED, IT IS INDICATED THAT RECESSED LIGHTING WILL |
| | NOT BE USED. |
| | |
| | COMMENT 5. FBC?EC405.5: SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH INTERIOR |
| | LIGHTING POWER REQUIREMENTS AS INDICATED BY SECTIONS |
| | C405.5.1 & C405.5.2. |
| | REVIEW RESULT: LIGHT DENSITY CALCULATIONS SHALL BE |
| | CORRECTED AND THE LIGHTING DESIGNED TO COMPLY. LIGHTING |
| | POWER ALLOWANCES BUILDING AREA METHOD, WHICH IS WHAT |
| | YOU APPEAR TO HAVE USED, INDICATES THAT THE ALLOWABLE |
| | W/FT2 FOR AN OFFICE IS 0.9. THE OCCUPANCY ANALYSIS |
| | REFLECTS THE AREA TO BE 5843 FT2. THEREFORE THE |
| | ALLOWABLE LIGHT DENSITY IS 5258.7 WATTS. THE 33 |
| | FLUORESCENTS AT 28 W/EA. ALONG WITH THE 77 DOWN LIGHTS |
| | AT 19 W/EA. PUTS YOU BEYOND THE ALLOWABLE. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, FOR A QUICKER RETURN ON YOUR |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER (NARRATIVE) ADDRESSING EACH ITEM AND THE PAGE |
| | NUMBER WHERE THE CORRECTIONS APPEAR ALONG WITH THE |
| | STANDARD CITY RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. ADDITIONALLY, PLEASE |
| | INSERT CORRECTED PAGES INTO THE SUBMITTAL PACKAGE. MARK |
| | VOID AND LEAVE THE PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED SHEETS FOR |
| | COMPARATIVE REVIEW. CLOUDING THE CHANGES WILL BE |
| | GREATLY APPRECIATED. |
| | IF YOU HAVE FURTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE DON?T HESITATE TO |
| | CONTACT ME DIRECTLY. |
