| | |
| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | 1) PLEASE PROVIDE HEATING AND COOLING SIZING |
| | CALCULATIONS. FBC EC C403.2.1 |
| | |
| | 2) SHEET M0.3.1- VENTILATION SCHEDULES INDICATES THE |
| | PUBLIC TOILET ROOMS EXHAUST FANS ARE EXHAUSTING 50 CFM. |
| | SHEET M0.2.2 FAN SCHEDULE INDICATES EF-1 EXHAUSTS 75 |
| | CFM AND IS INTERLOCKED WITH WALL LIGHT SWITCH. FBC M |
| | TABLE 403.3.1.1 NOTE E INDICATES THE 50 CFM MUST BE FOR |
| | CONTINUOUS OPERATION. PLEASE USE THE 75 CFM IN THE |
| | VENTILATION CALCULATIONS OR REMOVE CONTROL TYPE 2 AND |
| | MAKE THE EF-1 CONTINUOUSLY OPERATED. |
| | |
| | |
| | 3) SHEET M0.4.2- DETAIL 1: 504.8.5 LENGTH |
| | IDENTIFICATION. |
| | WHERE THE EXHAUST DUCT EQUIVALENT LENGTH EXCEEDS 35 |
| | FEET (10 668 MM), THE EQUIVALENT LENGTH OF THE EXHAUST |
| | DUCT SHALL BE IDENTIFIED ON A PERMANENT LABEL OR TAG. |
| | THE LABEL OR TAG SHALL BE LOCATED WITHIN 6 FEET (1829 |
| | MM) OF THE EXHAUST DUCT CONNECTION. |
| | |
| | 4) 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 |
| | |
| | 5) SHEET M0.6.1- GARAGE EXHAUST SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS: |

| | WHERE MECHANICAL VENTILATION SYSTEMS FOR ENCLOSED |
| | PARKING GARAGES OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY, SUCH OPERATION |
| | SHALL BE AUTOMATIC BY MEANS OF CARBON MONOXIDE |
| | DETECTORS APPLIED IN CONJUNCTION WITH NITROGEN DIOXIDE |
| | DETECTORS. SUCH DETECTORS SHALL BE INSTALLED IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR MANUFACTURERS? RECOMMENDATIONS. |
