| | |
| | 1) REFER TO SECTIONS 7.7.2,1 &, 7.7.2.3 & 7.7.3 NFPA |
| | 110: PER THE ENGINEER'S PLAN AND NARRATIVE, THE |
| | VENTILATION AIR FOR THE GENERATOR IS BEING DRAWN IN |
| | THROUGH A LOUVERED OPENING IN THE 2HR. FIRE-RATED WALL |
| | GENERATOR ROOM WALL THAT ADJACENT TO THE PARKING GARAGE |
| | WHICH IS NOT PERMITTED PER SECTION 7.7.2.1 & 7.7.3. |
| | THESE SECTIONS STATE THAT VENTILATION AIR MUST BE |
| | SUPPLIED DIRECTLY FROM A SOURCE OUTSIDE THE BUILDING. |
| | SECTION 7.7.2.3 PROHIBITS THE USE OF A FIRE DAMPER TO |
| | PROTECT THE OPENING, THEREFORE THE VENTILATION OPENING |
| | LOCATION WOULD NOT BE COMPLIANT BECAUSE OPENINGS IN |

| | BE OUTSIDE THE DUCT, AND ALL PARTS OF THE FAN IN |
