| | RESPONSES TO COMMENTS #18- 32. |
| | |
| | 1) THE COMCHECK COMPLIANCE REPORT IS MISSING DATA FOR |
| | THE CHILLERS AND THE FAN COIL UNITS. PLEASE NOTE THAT |

| | DOES NOT MEET COMPLIANCE WITH TABLE C403.2.3(7) FBC EC. |
| | |
| | 2) SHEET M-701: PLEASE LIST THE COOLING AND HEATING |
| | CAPACITIES OF THE AHU 1 & 2, AND DOAS 1 & 2 IN THE |
| | EQUIPMENT SCHEDULES- SECTION C403.2.1 FBC EC. |
| | |
| | 3) PLEASE VERIFY THAT COMMISSIONING OF THE MECHANICAL, |
| | AND ELECTRICAL POWER AND LIGHTING SYSTEMS WILL BE |
| | ACCOMPLISHED BY EITHER PROVIDING A NOTE OR AN OUTLINE |

| | INCOMPLETE. PLEASE REFER TO TABLE 7-1 ASHRAE 170-2008 |
| | AND PROVIDE COMPLETE DESIGN PARAMETERS THAT INCLUDE |
| | PRESSURE RELATIONSHIPS TO ADJACENT AREAS, MINIMUM TOTAL |
| | ACH, EXHAUST AND RECIRCULATION AIR, RELATIVE HUMIDITY, |
| | AND TEMPERATURE. ALSO MISSING FROM THE SCHEDULE ARE THE |
| | DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR THE SOILED AND CLEAN HOLDING AND |
| | UTILITY ROOMS, AND THE HAZARDOUS STORAGE ROOM. INDICATE |
| | HOW THE PRESSURE RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE MONITORED. WILL |
| | SENSORS BE INSTALLED? |
| | |
| | 5) M-201: THE REQUESTED MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS |
| | FOR THE GENERATOR AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT INCLUDING |

| | PROVIDED ON THE PLAN. A) PROVIDE AN EXHAUST FLUE |
| | DIAGRAM THAT INCLUDES THE TOTAL RUN LENGTH, AND |
| | INDICATE HOW THE PIPE WILL BE SUPPORTED. B) VERIFY THE |
| | EXHAUST SYSTEM INCLUDING SILENCER COMPLY WITH THE |
| | GENERATOR ENGINE'S MAX BACKPRESSURE- PLEASE PROVIDE A |
| | CALCULATION. C) CLARIFY HOW THE RADIATOR EXHAUST AT THE |
| | TOP OF THE GENERATOR WILL BE VENTED TO THE OUTDOORS. |
| | THE GENERATOR ROOM IS ONLY OPEN ON ONE SIDE AND MAY BE |
| | SUBJECT TO POSITIVE PRESSURE WHICH WOULD TRAP THE |
| | EXHAUST IN THE ROOM. |
| | |
| | 6) M-201 & M-703: PROVIDE THE DESIGN PARAMETERS AND |
| | EXHAUST CALCULATIONS FOR THE MRI ROOMS ON THE PLANS AND |
| | IN THE VENTILATION SCHEDULE. B) PROVIDE A DETAIL |
| | SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE CRYOGENIC EXHAUST PIPE |

| | NOTED- SEE SECTION 501.3.1 FBC M. |
| | |
| | 7) M-201: PLEASE REVISE THE PLANS TO SHOW THE REQUIRED |
| | MECHANICAL VENTILATION SYSTEM FOR THE MED GAS ROOM IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 510.1 AND 510.2 FBC M AND 414.3 |
| | FBC B. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM SHALL BE SIZED TO OPERATE |
| | CONTINUOUSLY AT A RATE OF 1.0 CFM PER SQ. FT.- SECTION |
| | 60.3.2.5.3 FFPC-2017, AND THE DUCT SYSTEM SHALL EXTEND |
| | DIRECTLY TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING. PLEASE NOTE |
| | THAT HAZARDOUS EXHAUST DUCTS THAT PENETRATE FIRE-RATED |
| | WALL ASSEMBLIES SHALL BE ENCLOSED IN FIRE-RESISTANT |
| | RATED CONSTRUCTION FROM THE POINT OF PENETRATION TO THE |
| | OUTLET TERMINAL- SECTION 510.7.3 FBC M. |
| | |
| | 8) REPEAT COMMENT #10 FROM THE 1ST REVIEW: M-201, 202 & |
| | 203: DUCT SMOKE DETECTORS ARE REQUIRED IN THE SUPPLY |

| | VERIFY COMPLIANCE. |
| | |
| | 9) REPEAT COMMENT #11 FROM THE 1ST REVIEW: M-204: |
| | PROVIDE A DUCT SMOKE DETECTOR IN THE SUPPLY SYSTEMS OF |
| | AHU- 1 & 2, AND DOAS- 1 & 2 PER SECTION 606.2.1 FBC M. |
| | A) PLEASE REFER TO SECTIONS 606.4 AND 606.4.1 FBC M AND |
