| | 1. SEE FBC 1609.1.2.1 REGARDING LOUVERS. PER |
| | CONTRACTOR, THE MANUFACTURER STATES THAT THIS PRODUCT |
| | IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A LOUVER. |
| | |
| | SEE THE DOCUMENTS PROVIDED WITH THE LOUVER. THE LETTER |
| | FROM THE MANUFACTURER CITES FBC 1626, WHICH IS IN THE |
| | HIGH VELOCITY SECTION OF THE FLORIDA BUILDING CODE. |

| | ADDITIONALLY, IT IS NOT CLEAR WHICH EXCEPTION WOULD BE |
| | APPLICABLE. |

| | DEMONSTRATE HOW THIS INSTALLATION AFFECTS THE STRUCTURE |
| | AND HOW THIS IS PERMITTED UNDER FBC 2010 AND ASCE7-10. |
| | PLEASE SEE ASCE7-10, CHAPTER 26, DEFINITION OF |
| | BUILDING, PARTIALLY ENCLOSED, ITEM 2. IF THIS PRODUCT |
| | IS NOT CONSIDERED A "LOUVER" AND IS CONSIDERED AN |
| | "OPENING," THE AREA ALLOWED WOULD BE LESS THAN 4 SQUARE |
| | FEET OR 1% PER WALL, WHICHEVER IS SMALLER. IF THIS |
| | PRODUCT WERE TO BE INSTALLED, SINCE THERE IS NO WIND |
| | PRESSURE OR IMPACT TESTING FOR THE PRODUCT, THEY WOULD |
| | BE CONSIDERED "OPENINGS" AND COULD NOT EXCEED 4SF (OR |
| | 1%) OR THE BUILDING WOULD BE CONSIDERED "PARTIALLY |
| | ENCLOSED". THE BUILDING WAS NOT DESIGNED AS SUCH; |
| | BUILDING WAS DESIGNED AS "ENCLOSED". |

| | INSTALLED IN ANOTHER PROJECT IN THE CITY. ALTHOUGH THAT |
| | FACT MAY NOT BE RELEVANT AS THE CODE CHANGES EVERY |

| | THIS MAY HAVE BEEN INSTALLED, PLEASE PROVIDE THE PERMIT |
| | NUMBER OR ADDRESS IF POSSIBLE. THE LIST PROVIDED |
