| | SECTION C103.1.1 FBC EC. |
| | |
| | 2) THE SUBMITTED TRACE HEAT LOAD CALCULATIONS ARE NOT |
| | IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTIONS C407.5.2.2 & C407.5.2.2 FBC |
| | EC BECAUSE ZONES HAVE NOT BEEN DEFINED. PLEASE REVIEW |
| | THE CODE SECTIONS PRINTED BELOW. |
| | |
| | C407.5.2.2 HVAC ZONES NOT DESIGNED. WHERE HVAC ZONES |
| | HAVE NOT YET BEEN DESIGNED, THERMAL BLOCKS SHALL BE |
| | DEFINED BASED ON SIMILAR INTERNAL LOAD DENSITIES, |
| | OCCUPANCY, LIGHTING, THERMAL AND TEMPERATURE SCHEDULES, |
| | AND IN COMBINATION WITH THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES: |
| | 1.SEPARATE THERMAL BLOCKS SHALL BE ASSUMED FOR INTERIOR |
| | AND PERIMETER SPACES. INTERIOR SPACES SHALL BE THOSE |
| | LOCATED MORE THAN 15 FEET (4572 MM) FROM AN EXTERIOR |
| | WALL. PERIMETER SPACES SHALL BE THOSE LOCATED CLOSER |
| | THAN 15 FEET (4572 MM) FROM AN EXTERIOR WALL. |
| | 2.SEPARATE THERMAL BLOCKS SHALL BE ASSUMED FOR SPACES |

| | SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR EACH ORIENTATION, EXCEPT |
| | ORIENTATIONS THAT DIFFER BY NOT MORE THAN 45 DEGREES |
| | (0.79 RAD) SHALL BE PERMITTED TO BE CONSIDERED TO BE |
| | THE SAME ORIENTATION. EACH ZONE SHALL INCLUDE FLOOR |
| | AREA THAT IS 15 FEET (4572 MM) OR LESS FROM A GLAZED |
| | PERIMETER WALL, EXCEPT THAT FLOOR AREA WITHIN 15 FEET |

| | ONE ORIENTATION SHALL BE DIVIDED PROPORTIONATELY |
| | BETWEEN ZONES. |

| | HAVING FLOORS THAT ARE IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND OR |
| | EXPOSED TO AMBIENT CONDITIONS FROM ZONES THAT DO NOT |
| | SHARE THESE FEATURES. |
| | 4.SEPARATE THERMAL BLOCKS SHALL BE ASSUMED FOR SPACES |
| | HAVING EXTERIOR CEILING OR ROOF ASSEMBLIES FROM ZONES |
| | THAT DO NOT SHARE THESE FEATURES. |
| | |
| | C407.5.2.3MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS. |
| | RESIDENTIAL SPACES SHALL BE MODELED USING ONE THERMAL |
| | BLOCK PER SPACE EXCEPT THAT THOSE FACING THE SAME |
| | ORIENTATIONS ARE PERMITTED TO BE COMBINED INTO ONE |
| | THERMAL BLOCK. CORNER UNITS AND UNITS WITH ROOF OR |
| | FLOOR LOADS SHALL ONLY BE COMBINED WITH UNITS SHARING |
| | THESE FEATURES. |
| | |

| | DUCTS CONNECTED TO THE RETURN SIDE OF AN AIR HANDLER, |
| | ARE PERMITTED TO SERVE AS SUCH A SYSTEM. THE OUTDOOR |
| | AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM SHALL BE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE |
| | REQUIRED RATE OF OUTDOOR AIR CONTINUOUSLY DURING THE |
| | PERIOD THAT THE BUILDING IS OCCUPIED. THE MINIMUM |
| | CONTINUOUS OUTDOOR AIRFLOW RATE SHALL BE DETERMINED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH EQUATION 4-9. |
| | |
| | (EQUATION 4-9) |
| | WHERE: |
| | |
| | QOA = OUTDOOR AIRFLOW RATE, CFM |
| | |
| | AFLOOR = FLOOR AREA, FT2 |
| | |
| | NBR = NUMBER OF BEDROOMS; NOT TO BE LESS THAN ONE |
| | |
| | EXCEPTION: THE OUTDOOR AIR VENTILATION SYSTEM IS NOT |
| | REQUIRED TO OPERATE CONTINUOUSLY WHERE THE SYSTEM HAS |
| | CONTROLS THAT ENABLE OPERATION |
| | FOR NOT LESS THAN 1 HOUR OF EACH 4-HOUR PERIOD. THE |
| | AVERAGE OUTDOOR AIR FLOW RATE OVER THE 4-HOUR PERIOD |
