| 2009-02-01 13:05:17 | REVIEW #: 2ND |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | FBC 2004 CODE FAMILY W/ 2007 SUPPLEMENTS |
| | FBC CH.1 AS AMENDED BY THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH |
| | |
| | THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ARE NUMBERED TO CORRESPOND WITH |
| | PREVIOUS REVIEW COMMENTS AS WELL AS DESIGNER'S WRITTEN |
| | RESPONSES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONTINUITY. |
| | |
| | 1. THE SYMBOL LEGEND PROVIDES NO SYMBOL TO BE USED FOR |
| | FIRE DAMPERS. THE INDICATION IS THAT FIRE DAMPERS ARE |
| | TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH "FD" BUT THERE ARE NO LOCATIONS |
| | INDICATED BY USING THIS DESIGNATION ON FLOOR PLANS. |
| | PLEASE SHOW ON PLANS WHERE EACH FIRE DAMPER IS LOCATED |
| | WITH THE USE OF A CLEARLY IDENTIFIED AND RECOGNIZABLE |
| | SYMBOL OR INDICATOR IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM 607.8 AND |
| | FBCB 106.1.1. |
| | |
| | 2 THROUGH 9: OK |
| | |
| | 10. DESIGNER???S RESPONSE INDICATES THERE IS A CONCERN |
| | REGARDING THE LACK OF A RETURN AIR INTAKE IN THE |
| | KITCHEN FOR WHEN THE EXHAUST FAN IS NOT RUNNING. IF |
| | BALANCED RETURN CAN NOT BE ACHIEVED WITH THIS |
| | CONFIGURATION (AS REQUIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 601.4) THEN IT IS THE DESIGNER???S RESPONSIBILITY TO |
| | DESIGN A SYSTEM WHICH MEETS DESIGN REQUIREMENTS IN A |
| | CODE COMPLIANT MANNER. SOME SUGGESTED OPTIONS ARE: |
| | DESIGNING A RETURN FOR THIS AREA WITH A MOTORIZED OR |
| | BAROMETRIC DAMPER THAT WILL OPEN WHEN THE KITCHEN |
| | EXHAUST IS NOT OPERATIONAL. THERE MAY BE OTHER OPTIONS |
| | AVAILABLE AT THE DESIGNER???S DISCRETION. PLEASE CALL |
| | TO DISCUSS IF NECESSARY. |
| | |
| | 11. OK |
| | |
| | 12. NOTE ON FLOOR PLAN CLAIMS DUCTS OF 100 SQ. IN. OR |
| | LESS DO NOT REQUIRE FIRE DAMPERS. NO SUCH EXCEPTION |
| | COULD BE FOUND IN THE CODE. THERE IS A SIX-PART |
| | EXCEPTION FOR FIRE DAMPERS IN FIRE PARTITIONS (SEE FBCM |
| | 607.5.3 EXCEPTION #2), BUT ALL SIX CONDITIONS MUST BE |
| | MET TO UTILIZE THE EXCEPTION. ALSO, FLOOR PLAN SHOWS |
| | FLEX DUCTS PENETRATING A WALL IDENTIFIED AS FIRE RATED |
| | ON ARCHITECTURAL PLANS. FLEXIBLE DUCTS AND AIR |
| | CONNECTORS SHALL NOT PASS THROUGH ANY |
| | FIRE-RESISTANCE-RATED ASSEMBLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBCM |
| | 607.7. IN ANY CASE, DUCTS PENETRATING FIRE RATED |
| | ASSEMBLIES SHALL BE PROTECTED WITH FIRE DAMPERS OR A |
| | THROUGH-PENETRATION FIRESTOP SYSTEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | FBCM 607.1.1. IF AN EXCEPTION TO THE REQUIREMENT FOR |
| | FIRE DAMPERS IN DUCTS, PLEASE SEE EXCEPTION #1 UNDER |
| | FBCM 607.5.3 IF THIS IS A FULLY SPRINKLERED BUILDING. |
| | |
| | 13 THROUGH 15: OK |
| | |
| | 16. NOTE ???I??? ON M.02 IS IN CONFLICT WITH THE NOTE |
| | ON M.04 REGARDING DAMPER OPERATION. PLEASE COORDINATE |
| | NOTES SHOWING COMPLIANCE WITH FBCM 508.1. |
| | |
| | 17. DETAIL FOR FAN COIL UNIT NOW SHOWS A DUCT DETECTOR |
| | ON THE SUPPLY AS REQUIRED BY FBCM 606.2.1. HOWEVER, |
| | DETAIL #15 ON PAGE M.05 SHOWS THE DUCT DETECTOR |
| | INSTALLED ON THE RETURN. PLEASE CORRECT. |
| | |
| | NEW COMMENTS BASED ON NEW INFORMATION AND?OR DETAILS |
| | PROVIDED: |
| | |
| | 18. CONDENSATE DETAIL #8 ON PAGE M.05 CALLS FOR AN |
| | AUXILIARY DRAIN FROM AN AUXILIARY DRAIN PAN TO BE |
| | ROUTED TO THE "NEAREST WET COLUMN." THIS DOES NOT |
| | CORRESPOND WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AUXILIARY DRAIN |
| | PROTECTION UNDER FBCM 607.2.3. PLEASE SHOW A MEANS OF |
| | AUXILIARY DRAIN PROTECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS |
| | SECTION. |
| | NOTE: THE DETAIL CALLS FOR A FLOAT SWITCH IN THE |
| | AUXILIARY DRAIN PAN. THIS WOULD BE COMPLIANT WITH NO |
| | AUXILIARY DRAIN LINE INSTALLED ON THE PAN. |
| | |
| | 19. DETAIL #6 ON M.05 SHOWS A LOUVER INSTALLATION. |
| | LOUVERS ARE DEFINED AS PANEL WALLS PER FAC RULE 9B-72 |
| | AND ARE SUBJECT TO THE FLORIDA PRODUCT APPROVAL SYSTEM. |
| | PROVIDE PRODUCT APPROVAL DOCUMENTATION FOR THE SPECIFIC |
| | LOUVERS TO BE INSTALLED WITH INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. |
| | |
| | 20. ENERGY CALCULATIONS ARE NOT SIGNED AND SEALED BY |
| | THE DESIGNER OF RECORD AND/OR OWNER-AGENT AS REQUIRED |
| | BY FBCB 13-103.1.1 AND 13-103.2. |
