| | PERMIT #17080529 |
| | 12/20/17 |
| | |
| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | 1) IN RESPONSE TO COMMENT #2 FROM THE 1ST REVIEW, THE |
| | ARCHITECT IS STATING IN THE RESPONSE NARRATIVE THAT THE |
| | LAB ROOMS IN THE TENANT SPACE DO NOT HAVE TO MEET THE |
| | REQUIREMENTS OF TABLE 403.3. PLEASE SEE SECTION 403.3 |
| | WHICH STATES: "VENTILATION RATES FOR OCCUPANCIES NOT |
| | REPRESENTED IN TABLE 403.3 SHALL BE THOSE FOR A LISTED |
| | OCCUPANCY CLASSIFICATION THAT IS MOST SIMILAR IN TERMS |
| | |
| | OF OCCUPANT DENSITY, ACTIVITIES AND BUILDING |
| | CONSTRUCTION; OR SHALL BE DETERMINED BY AN APPROVED |
| | ENGINEERING ANALYSIS". ALTHOUGH LABS ARE NOT LISTED |
| | UNDER OFFICE OCCUPANCY, THEY ARE LISTED UNDER EDUCATION |
| | WHICH IS THE MOST SIMILAR OCCUPANCY SHOWN IN THE TABLE. |
| | PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EXISTENCE OF A LAB AS AN ACCESSORY |
| | SPACE IN A BUSINESS OCCUPANCY IS NOT PROHIBITED BY THE |
| | CODE- |
| | |
| | SEE SECTION 508 FBC-14 BUILDING. REVISE THE PLANS TO |
| | SHOW THE REQUIRED EXHAUST SYSTEMS, AND PROVIDE A |
| | NARRATIVE THAT DETAILS THE PROCEDURES THAT ARE |
| | PERFORMED IN THE LABS, AND WHAT EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS |
| | ARE USED IN THOSE PROCEDURES. REFER TO TABLE 403.3 FOR |
| | LAB VENTILATION RATES- 10 CFM FOR OCCUPANTS PLUS 0.18 |
| | CFMS PER SQ. FT. AND 1.0 CFM EXHAUST AIRFLOW RATE. |
| | PLEASE REVISE |
| | |
| | THE VENTILATION SCHEDULE ON SHEET MP001. |
| | |
| | 2) IN RESPONSE TO COMMENT #5 FROM THE 1ST REVIEW |
| | CONCERNING THE RESTROOM AND GAS STORAGE ROOM EXHAUST, |
| | THE ARCHITECT IS STATING THAT THE GAS EXHAUST FAN |
| | (EF-2) IS DISCHARGING TO THE OUTDOORS, HOWEVER THE PLAN |
| | APPEARS TO STILL INDICATE THE EF-2 FAN ON THE INTERIOR |
| | WALL OF THE VESTIBULE. USING OUR GIS PROGRAM I HAVE |
| | LOOKED AT ACTUAL PHOTOS OF THE BUILDING AND I AM NOT |
| | SEEING HOW |
| | |
| | THE FAN LOCATED AS SHOWN ON THE PLAN IS ON AN EXTERIOR |
| | WALL. FURTHER, IF THIS FAN WAS LOCATED ON AN EXTERIOR |
| | WALL AT THE 6TH FLOOR LEVEL, HOW WOULD ACCESS BE |
| | PROVIDED TO SERVICE THE FAN AS REQUIRED BY CODE SECTION |
| | 306.1. ADDITIONALLY PLEASE NOTE THE FAN WOULD HAVE TO |
| | BE WIND RESISTANT AND PROTECTED FROM IMPACT PER SECTION |
| | 1609 FBC-14 BUILDING AND RULE 9N-3 FAC. CONCERNING |
| | |
| | THE LOCATION OF THE RESTOOM EXHAUST DISCHARGE, THE |
| | REVISED PLAN IS SHOWING AN 18"X 30" EXHAUST GRILL |
| | LOCATED IN A SOFFIT. AGAIN, I HAVE LOOKED AT THE PHOTOS |
| | AND NOT SEEING HOW THIS INSTALLATION WOULD BE |
| | ACCOMPLISHED. PLEASE PROVIDE PLAN SECTIONS AND DETAILS |
| | TO CLEARLY SHOW EACH OF THESE NEW EXHAUST TERMINATIONS. |
| | |
| | 3) COMMENT #11 FROM THE 1ST REVIEW PARTIALLY COMPLIED |
| | WITH. AC CALCULATIONS FOR WSHP'S 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 NOT |
| | PROVIDED. PLEASE ADD THE EFFICIENCY RATINGS (SEER) TO |
| | THE EQUIPMENT SCHEDULE ON SHEET M001. |
| | |
| | 4) SHEET M101: SHOW HOW O/A IS BEING PROVIDED TO THE |
| | WSHP-11 SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | 5) M201: IT APPEARS THAT CONDENSATE FROM THE HEAT PUMPS |
| | WILL BE DRAINING INTO THE CITY SANITARY SYSTEM WHICH IS |
| | PROHIBITED PER SECTION 90-126 WPB CODE OF ORDINANCES. |
