| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | 1) INSULATION INSTALLED ON A SUSPENDED CEILING WITH |
| | REMOVABLE CEILING TILES SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED PART OF |
| | THE MINIMUM THERMAL RESISTANCE OF THE ROOF INSULATION- |
| | SECTION C402.2.2 FBC EC. THE SUBMITTED INPUT DATA |
| | REPORT ATTACHED TO THE ENERGYGAUGE COMPLIANCE REPORT |
| | SHOWS R-11 IN THE MTL BLDG ROOF WHICH DOES NOT |
| | REPRESENT THE ACTUAL FIELD CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION, |
| | PLEASE REVIEW THE 2015 IECC COMMENTARY REGARDING |
| | INSULATION ON THE UPPERSIDE OF THE CEILING TILES: "THE |
| | CODE PROHIBITS CONDIDERING TH INSULATION ON THE UPPER |
| | SIDE OF REMOVABLE CEILING TILES AS A PORTION OF THE |
| | REQUIRED INSULATION. THEREFORE, ON SUSPENDED CEILING |
| | SYSTEMS WITH REMOVABLE TILES, ANY INSULATION INSTALLED |
| | AT THIS LOCATION IS NOT CONSIDERED AS CONTRIBUTING TO |
| | THE MINIMUM REQUIRED BUILDING THERMAL ENVELOPE |
| | PROVISIONS." |
| | IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION, IT APPEARS |
| | INSULATION WOULD BE CREDITIED IF IS INSTALLED ABOVE A |
| | HARD CEILING, OR IF THE WALLS AND THERMAL BARRIERS |
| | EXTENDED UP TO THE ROOF DECK AND THE ROOF WAS INSULATED |
| | TO MINIMUM R-10. |
| | |
| | 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 |
| | PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED SHEETS AND MARK VOID ON THEM, AND |
| | KEEP THEM WITH THE SUBMITTALS. |
