| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | 1) SHEET CVR: THE INDEX SHOWS 10 MECHANICAL PLAN SHEETS |

| | THE SETS (M-1- M-6). |
| | |
| | 2) PLEASE INDICATE HOW THE APARTMENTS ARE TO BE |
| | VENTILATED- NATURALLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 402 |
| | FBC M, OR MECHANICALLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 403 |
| | FBC M. THE CURRENT PLAN DOES NOT SHOW ANY OUTDOOR AIR |
| | BEING DUCTED INTO THE AIR HANDLERS SO THE ASSUMPTION IS |
| | NATURAL VENTILATION WILL BE THE MEANS. PLEASE CONFIRM |
| | AND PROVIDE CALCULATIONS IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION |
| | 402.2 FOR NATURAL, OR TABLE 403.3.1 FOR MECHANICAL. |
| | |
| | 3) THE ENERGYGAUGE COMPLIANCE SUBMITTAL NEEDS TO BE |
| | UPDATED TO THE SIXTH EDITION (2017) EDITION. PLEASE |
| | NOTE THAT THE REVISED SUBMITTAL MUST PROVIDE COMPLIANCE |
| | DATA FOR THE 2-TON AND 2.5 TON SYSTEMS WHICH IS MISSING |
| | FROM THE CURRENT SUBMITTAL. |
| | |
| | 4) SHEETS M-1, M-2, & M-3: THE AC CLOSET DOORS ON ALL |

| | |
| | 5) M-1, M-2, M-3: THE TRANSFER DUCTS FROM THE BEDROOMS |

| | CROSS-SECTIONAL AREA OF THE TRANSFER DUCTS SHALL BE |
| | 1-1/2 TIMES THE CROSS SECTIONAL AREA OF THE SUPPLY |
| | DUCTS ENTERING THE ROOMS. |
| | |
| | 6) M-1, M-2, M-3: THE SIZES OF THE LINEAR DIFFUSERS AND |
| | GRILLS SHOWN ON THE PLAN APPEAR TO INCORRECT BECAUSE |

| | INCHES. |
| | |
| | 7) M-1, M-2, M-3, M-4: THE TOILET EXHAUST SYSTEMS ARE |
| | CONFUSING BECAUSE THE FANS ARE LABELED TEF ON THE FLOOR |
