| | PERMIT #16020539 |

| | |
| | 1) M-1: REFER TO SECTION 401.2 FBC-14 MECHANICAL: EVERY |
| | OCCUPIED SPACE SHALL BE VENTILATED EITHER BY NATURAL OR |
| | MECHANICAL MEANS. THE CALCULATIONS SHOWN ON THE PLAN |
| | INDICATE BOTH METHODS ARE BEING COMBINED TO ACHIEVE THE |
| | REQUIRED 1058 CFM'S OF OUTDOOR AIR FOR THE PROPOSED |
| | OCCUPANCY. AS NOTED IN 2012 INTERNATIONAL CODE |
| | COMMENTARY "THERE ARE NO PROVISIONS IN THE CODE FOR A |
| | VENTILATION SYSTEM THAT DEPENDS SIMULTANEOUSLY ON BOTH |
| | NATURAL AND MECHANICAL VENTILATION". THE DESIGN |
| | PROFESSIONALS CALCULATIONS THE RTU'S ARE SUPPLYING A |
| | TOTAL OF 828 CFMS OF O/A WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 230 |
| | CFMS SHORT OF THE REQUIREMENT. PLEASE NOTE THE |
| | FOLLOWING: A) THE TERM "MAKE-UP" AIR SHOULD BE REPLACED |
| | ON THE PLAN WITH "VENTILATION AIR" AS NOTED IN SECTION |
| | 401.2. B) REFER TO SECTION 402.1 NATURAL VENTILATION: |
| | NATURAL VENTILATION OF AN OCCUPIED SPACE SHALL BE |
| | THROUGH WINDOWS, DOORS, LOUVERS OR OTHER OPENINGS TO |
| | THE OUTDOORS. THE OPERATING MECHANISM FOR SUCH OPENINGS |
| | SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH READY ACCESS SO THAT THE |
| | OPENINGS ARE READILY CONTROLLABLE BY THE BUILDING |
| | OCCUPANTS. THE PLANS APPEAR TO INDICATE THAT "NATURAL |
| | VENTILATION" WOULD NOT BE A REASONABLE WAY TO PROVIDE |
| | VENTILATION TO THE SPACE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO OPERABLE |
| | OPENINGS EXCEPT THE ENTRY DOORS WHICH WOULD TYPICALLY |
| | BE KEPT CLOSED. |
