| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | 1) SHEET M.201A AND SHEET M.201B: PLEASE SHOW A DETAIL |
| | OF THE MECHANICAL SYSTEM FOR THE EXIT PASSAGEWAY |
| | SHOWING HOW IT MEETS FBC M 601.3. THE EXIT PASSAGEWAY |
| | CANNOT BE SERVED BY A SYSTEM THAT SERVES ANY OTHER |
| | AREA. |
| | |
| | 2) SHEET M.201A AND M.201B: PLEASE EXPLAIN THE INTAKE |
| | DUCT IN ELECTRIC ROOM (E4) FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 3) PREVIOUS COMMENT #12- THE RESPONSE STATES TO LOOK ON |
| | SHEET MP.002 FOR THE REMOTE FUEL FILL STATION AND FILL |
| | PIPE. THERE IS NO MP.002 SHEET SUBMITTED IN THIS |
| | PACKAGE. |
| | |
| | 4) SHEET M.715 AND SHEET M.707: THE DRYER EXHAUST |
| | DIAGRAM SHOWS OFF SETS IN SEVERAL RISERS, PLEASE SHOW |
| | HOW THIS WOULD MEET FBC M 504.8 (4) |
| | |
| | 5) SHEET M.715: PLEASE SHOW THAT THE EXHAUST FAN FOR |
| | THE DRYER EXHAUST SUB DUCT MEETS FBC M 504.8 (5) |
| | |
| | 6) SHEET M.715: PLEASE SHOW THAT THE EXHAUST FAN FOR |
| | THE DRYER SUBDUCT MEETS FBC M 504.8 (8) |
| | |
| | 7) SHEETS M.254- SHEET M.262: PLEASE REMOVE THE DRYER |
| | BOOSTER FANS AS THERE IS NO REFERENCE OF THESE IN THE |
| | 2014 FBC M. |
| | |
| | 8) THE DRYER EXHAUST DUCT MUST BE INSTALLED BY THE |
| | MANUFACTURES INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THE TYPICAL |
| | DRYER INSTALLATION MANUAL WILL ALLOW ONLY (4) 90 DEGREE |
| | FITTINGS IN A SINGLE RUN. I DO SEE SEVERAL DRYER DUCT |
| | WITH MORE THAN THE 4 90 DEGREE FITTINGS IN A SINGLE |
| | RUN, PLEASE CORRECT THIS. FBC M 504.6.4.2 |
| | |
| | 9) PLEASE PROVIDE A LETTER FROM THE DRYER MANUFACTURER |
| | STATING THAT THE X VENT DRYER EXHAUST TERMINATION IS |
| | ALLOWED WITH EACH SPECIFIC DRYER. THE X VENT IS UNIQUE |
| | IN THE FACT THAT IT USES BOTH THE BACK-DRAFT DAMPER AND |
| | THE LOUVER. THE INSTALLATION MANUAL DOES NOT ADDRESS |
| | THIS KIND OF INSTALLATION. WITH THE X VENT SYSTEM THE |
| | BOX OF THE X VENT IS MOUNTED INTO THE EXTERIOR OF THE |
| | WALL AND THE LOUVER IS FLUSH TO THE EXTERIOR WALL. THE |
| | EXHAUST OF THE DRYER MUST TRAVEL THROUGH THE EXHAUST |
| | DUCT, OPEN THE BACK-DRAFT DAMPER AND TRAVEL THROUGH THE |
| | X VENT COVER (LOUVER) BEFORE IT IS EXHAUSTED TO THE |
| | OUTDOORS. BECAUSE THIS PRODUCT USES BOTH THE BACK-DRAFT |
| | DAMPER AND THE OUTER COVER OF THE BOX (LOUVER) INSTEAD |
| | OF EITHER THE BACK-DRAFT DAMPER OR THE LOUVER AS |
| | TYPICALLY SEEN IN THE MANUFACTURES INSTALLATION MANUAL |
| | THE OUTER LOUVER IS A RESTRICTION THAT MUST BE |
| | ADDRESSED. IN LIEU OF THE MANUFACTURES LETTER STATING |
| | THE MAXIMUM DRYER EXHAUST DUCT TO BE USED WITH THE X |
| | VENT SYSTEM THE ENGINEER OF RECORD MUST DETERMINE THE |
| | AMOUNT OF RESTRICTION THIS CREATES AND THE EFFECT TO |
| | THE DRYER EXHAUST DUCT LENGTH. THE ENGINEER OF RECORD |
| | MUST SUBMIT THE CALCULATIONS AND PROVIDE MAX. EXHAUST |
| | DRYER DUCT LENGTHS FOR EACH DRYER USED IN THIS PROJECT. |
| | FBC M 504.8.4.2 |
| | |
| | 10) PLEASE PROVIDE THE SPECIFIC DRYER SPECIFICATIONS |
| | ALONG WITH THE DRYER DUCT LENGTHS. FBC M 504.6.4 |
| | |
| | 11) SHEET M.205B; WHAT IS THE WATER HEATER INTAKE AND |
| | EXHAUST PIPING MATERIAL? PLEASE PROVIDE THE |
| | SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE MENTIONED FIRE WRAP MATERIAL |
| | CALLED OUT ON THE DRAWING FOR THE SPECIFIC PIPING |
| | MATERIAL OF THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST PIPING. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 12) SHEET M.701; I DO NOT SEE THE MENTIONED SD?S AT THE |
| | RETURN DUCT OF THE ERU-3 AND AHU-11 ON EACH LEVEL OF |
| | OFFICE TOWER. PLEASE CLOUD THE SD?S TO CLEARLY SHOW THE |
| | CHANGES. FBC 107.2.1 |
| | |
| | 13) SHEETS M.606-M.607; PLEASE IDENTIFY EACH VENT ZONE |
| | IN THE OUTDOOR AIR CALCULATIONS TO MATCH THE TABLES |
| | EITHER IN THE 2014 FBC M TABLE 403.3 OR ASHRAE 62.1 |
| | TABLE 6.2.2.1 |
| | |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. ADDITIONALLY, PLEASE INSERT |
| | CORRECTED PLAN SHEETS INTO THE SETS, REMOVE THE OLD |
| | SHEETS FROM THE PLAN SETS, BIND THEM TOGETHER |
| | SEPARATELY AND MARK VOID OR OLD ON THEM. PLEASE RETAIN |
| | THEM FOR REFERENCE WITH THE NEW SUBMITTED PLANS. THIS |
| | PROCESS WILL ALSO APPLY TO ANY DOCUMENTS SUCH AS |
| | PRODUCT APPROVALS OR CALCULATIONS BEING REPLACED OR |
| | UPDATED. |
