| | 1. FIRE ALARM, LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEMS, DAS, LIGHTNING |
| | PROTECTION, GENERATORS, COMMERCIAL HOOD SYSTEMS, WALK |
| | IN COOLERS, SIGNS, SITE LIGHTING, AND SWIMMING POOLS |
| | (WHERE APPLICABLE) ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE OF |
| | THIS PLAN REVIEW. PROVIDE A BLOCK NOTE INDICATING THE |
| | REQUIRED SEPARATE PERMITS AND PLAN SUBMITTALS FOR ANY |
| | OF THESE SYSTEMS PRESENT. WPB FBC 105.1, 107.2.1 |
| | 2. RISER DIAGRAM SHOWS THREE SETS OF THREE 400 KCMIL |
| | CONDUCTORS FOR THE FEEDERS FROM FPL. THIS WOULD |
| | INDICATE THAT THIS IS A SINGLE PHASE SERVICE, BUT THE |
| | RISER INDICATED THIS IS A THREE PHASE SERVICE. PROVIDE |
| | CLARIFICATION AND/OR CORRECTIONS. NEC 215.5; WPB FBC |
| | 107.2.1 |
| | 3. PROVIDE ACCURATE LOAD CALCULATION INCLUDING ALL |
| | LOADS. IT APPEARS FOR THE METER CENTER THAT NEC 220.84 |
| | IS BEING USED, BUT THIS CODE SECTION IS NOT APPLIED |
| | CORRECTLY. ALL LOADS AT 100% SHOULD BE ADDED TOGETHER |
| | AND THEN THE DEMAND FACTOR OF 34% APPLIED TO THIS |
| | AMOUNT BASED ON 26 DWELLING UNITS. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT |
| | 100% OF THE LOADS FROM EACH UNIT IS NOT BEING USED |
| | CORRECTLY. THIS SHOULD INCLUDE ALL ITEMS DETAILED IN |
| | NEC 220.84(C), INCLUDING ONLY THE LARGER OF THE AC OR |
| | HEAT LOAD. WHEN THIS NUMBER IS CALCULATED, THEN 100% OF |
| | THE HOUSE LOAD WOULD BE ADDED TO THAT FOR THE FINAL VA |
| | LOAD BASED ON NEC 220.84(B). NEC 220 |
| | 4. BASED ON LOADS DETAILED IN THIS SUBMISSION, I HAVE |
| | CALCULATED THE LOAD ON THE SERVICE TO BE 1078 AMPS, |
| | WHICH IS LARGER THAN THE DESIGNED SERVICE SUPPLIED. |
| | PROVIDE CLARIFICATIONS AND/OR CORRECTIONS AS NEEDED FOR |
| | SERVICE EQUIPMENT AND FEEDERS. NEC 215.2, 220.84, |
| | 408.30, 408.36 |
| | 5. PANEL SCHEDULE FOR EACH UNIT SHOW A DIFFERENT LOAD |
| | THAN THE LOAD CALCULATION TABLES. IT APPEARS THAT THIS |
| | IS DUE TO THE CORRECT TYPE OF LOAD CALCULATION FOR |
| | DWELLING UNITS NOT BEING USED, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE 3VA |
| | PER SQUARE FOOT. INFORMATION SHOULD BE CONSISTENT. |
| | CORRECT DISCREPANCIES. WPB FBC 107.2.1; NEC 220 |
| | 6. IF SERVICE OR FEEDER SIZES ARE CHANGED, PROVIDE |
| | UPDATED AIC CALCULATIONS. NEC 110.9, 110.10 |
| | 7. PROVIDE NOTES TO INDICATE THE REQUIRED MARKING OF |
| | SERVICE EQUIPMENT FOR ARC FLASH HAZARD WARNING AND |
| | AVAILABLE FAULT CURRENT PER CODE. NEC 110.16, 110.24 |
| | 8. UNITS 2A AND 2B ALL SHOW THE FOLLOWING CODE |
| | VIOLATION. A MINIMUM OF ONE 20 AMPERE BRANCH CIRCUIT |
| | SHALL BE PROVIDED TO SUPPLY BATHROOM RECEPTACLE |
| | OUTLET(S). SUCH CIRCUITS SHALL HAVE NO OTHER OUTLETS. |
| | THIS CIRCUIT CAN BE USED FOR LIGHTING AND RECEPTACLE |
| | OUTLETS IN ONE BATHROOM, BUT THEN CANNOT BE USED TO |
| | FEED ANOTHER BATHROOM. OR, THIS CIRCUIT CAN FEED ONLY |
| | THE RECEPTACLES IN MULTIPLE BATHROOMS. PROVIDE |
| | CORRECTION. NEC 210.11(C)(3) |
| | 9. PROVIDE TAMPER RESISTANT RECEPTACLES PER CODE. A |
| | NOTE WILL SUFFICE. NEC 406.12 |
| | 10. LIGHT FIXTURE SCHEDULE DOES NOT INDICATE FIXTURES |
| | THAT ARE RATED FOR WET LOCATIONS FOR SHOWERS, OR HAVE |
| | ENCLOSED LIGHT BULBS FOR CLOSETS. PROVIDE NOTE OF |
| | COMPLIANCE FOR EACH LOCATION. NEC 410.10(D), 410.16 |
| | 11. PROVIDE COMPLIANCE FOR DWELLING UNITS: A MINIMUM OF |
| | 75 PERCENT OF THE LAMPS IN PERMANENTLY INSTALLED |
| | LIGHTING FIXTURES SHALL BE HIGH-EFFICACY LAMPS OR A |
| | MINIMUM OF 75 PERCENT OF THE PERMANENTLY INSTALLED |
| | LIGHTING FIXTURES SHALL CONTAIN ONLY HIGH EFFICACY |
| | LAMPS. A NOTE WILL SUFFICE. FBC EC C405.1, R404.1 |
| | 12. AFCI PROTECTION SHOWN IS NOT CODE COMPLIANT. ALL |
| | BRANCH CIRCUITS THAT SUPPLY 120-VOLT, SINGLE-PHASE, 15- |
| | AND 20-AMPERE OUTLETS INSTALLED IN KITCHENS, FAMILY |
| | ROOMS, DINING ROOMS, LIVING ROOMS, PARLORS, LIBRARIES, |
| | DENS, BEDROOMS, SUN-ROOMS, RECREATIONS ROOMS, CLOSETS, |
| | HALLWAYS, LAUNDRY AREAS AND SIMILAR ROOMS OR AREAS |
| | SHALL BE AFCI PROTECTED. THIS INCLUDES LIGHTING AND |
| | POWER OUTLETS AND RECEPTACLES. SOME AREAS REQUIRE BOTH |
| | AFCI AND GFCI PROTECTION. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC |
| | 210.8, 210.12 |
| | 13. THERE IS A DISCREPANCY WITH FLOOR PLAN, RISER |
| | DIAGRAM AND LOAD CALCULATIONS. THE RISER SHOWS A UNIT |
| | 1209, BUT THIS IS NOT INCLUDED IN LOAD CALCS OR FLOOR |
| | PLAN. IT APPEARS THAT THE HOUSE PANEL HAS BEEN CONFUSED |
| | FOR UNIT 1205. CORRECT DISCREPANCIES SO THAT ALL |
| | INFORMATION IS CONSISTENT. WPB FBC 107.2.1 |
