| | |
| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | 1) COMCHECK ENERGY COMPLIANCE RESUBMITTED REPORT: |
| | |
| | A) THE BTUH COOLING CAPACITIES FOR AHU- 1& 2 AND THE |
| | DOAS- 1 & 2 DO NOT MATCH THE CAPACITIES SHOWN IN TH |
| | SCHEDULE ON SHEET M-701. |
| | B) REFERENCE IS MADE TO IPLV RATINGS CH-1 & 2 THAT ARE |
| | NOT SHOWN IN THE SCHEDULES- SEE TABLE C403.2.3(7) FBC |
| | EC. |
| | C) COOLING AND HEATING CAPACITIES FOR FCU 1-7, 1-8, & |
| | 1-9 ARE REVERSED. |
| | D) HEATING CAPACITIES FOR MANY OF THE FCU'S DO NOT |
| | MATCH THE CAPACITIES IN THE SCHEDULE. |
| | |
| | 2) SHEET M-703: THE VENTILATION CALCULATIONS FOR (OR'S |
| | # 442, 443, 444, & 445), & (ROOMS 451,453, 457, 458) |
| | AND THE FOURTH FLOOR POST-OP AND PRE-OP ROOMS ARE NOT |
| | SHOWN IN THE SCHEDULE. AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED THE SCHEDULE |
| | IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH TABLE 7-1 ASHRAE-170 WHICH |
| | REQUIRES MINIMUM OUTDOOR AIR CHANGES AND MINIMUM TOTAL |
| | SUIPPLY AIR CHANGES AND PRESSURE RELATIONSHIPS TO BE |
| | SHOWN FOR ALL ROOMS AND SPACES. ALSO IT IS NOT CLEAR |
| | HOW THE PRESSURE RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE MONITORED. WILL |
| | SENSORS BE INSTALLED? |
| | |
| | 3) M-201: THE SUBMITTED SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE CUMMINGS |
| | EMERGENCY GENERATOR INDICATE THE UNIT IS A LEVEL 2 |
| | SYSTEM , HOWEVER THE AMBULATORY SURGICAL CENTER |

| | |
| | 4) M-201: COMMENT #5 FROM THE PREVIOUS REVIEW STILL |
| | EXISTS : THE REQUESTED MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS |
| | FOR THE GENERATOR AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT INCLUDING |
| | THE VENT PIPING WERE NOT SUBMITTED. THE EXHAUST FLUE |
| | TERMINATION REQUIRED CLEARANCE MEASUREMENTS NOT |
| | PROVIDED ON THE PLAN. |
| | A) PROVIDE AN EXHAUST FLUE DIAGRAM THAT INCLUDES THE |
| | TOTAL RUN LENGTH, AND INDICATE HOW THE PIPE WILL BE |
| | SUPPORTED. |

| | C) CLARIFY HOW THE RADIATOR EXHAUST AT THE TOP OF THE |
| | GENERATOR WILL BE VENTED TO THE OUTDOORS.THE GENERATOR |
| | ROOM IS ONLY OPEN ON ONE SIDE AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO |
| | POSITIVE PRESSURE WHICH WOULD TRAP THE EXHAUST IN THE |
| | ROOM. PLEAS NOTE THAT SECTION 7.7.4.2 NFPA 110 REQUIRES |
| | THE RADIATOR DISCHARGE TO BE DUCTED OUTDOORS OR TO AN |
| | EXTERIOR OPENING BY A 2-HOUR FIRE RATED AIR TRANSFER |
| | SYSTEM. |

| | WALLS ENCLOSING THE ROOM. PLEASE NOTE THE FLOOR/CEILING |
| | ASSEMBLY ABOVE THE ROOM MUSTL ALSO BE 2-HR. FIRE-RATED |
| | - PLEASE CORRECT THE PLANS. |
| | |
| | 6) M-201: REFER TO SECTIONS 7.7.1 & 7.7.7 NFPA 110 AND |
| | PROVIDE VERIFICATION FROM THE GENERATOR MANUFACTURER |
| | THAT THE VENTILATION SYSTEM, AS CURRENTLY DESIGNED, |
| | WILL LIMIT THE MAXIMUM AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE IN THE |
| | ENCLOSURE TO THE MAXIMUM AIR TEMNPERATURE REQUIRED BY |
| | THE MANUFACTURER. |
| | |
| | 7) REFER TO SECTION 451.3.13.1 FBC B AND PROVIDE A |
