| | PLAN REVIEW RESULTS: DENIED. |
| | |
| | 1) EXHAUST VENTILATION IS REQUIRED FOR THE UPS SYSTEM, |
| | HOWEVER DETERMINING HOW THE SYSTEM WILL BE VENTILATED |
| | IS DEPENDENT ON SUBMITTAL OF MSDS SHEETS FOR THE |
| | BATTERIES, AND CLARIFICATION OF HOW THE BATTERIES ARE |
| | BEING STORED, AND BATTERY QUANTITIES- SEE FBC M CODE |
| | SECTIONS BELOW. |
| | |
| | 502.4 STATIONARY STORAGE BATTERY SYSTEMS. |
| | STATIONARY STORAGE BATTERY SYSTEMS, AS REGULATED BY THE |
| | FLORIDA FIRE PREVENTION CODE, SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH |

| | 502.4.1 OR 502.4.2. |
| | EXCEPTION: LITHIUM-ION AND LITHIUM METAL POLYMER |
| | BATTERIES SHALL NOT REQUIRE ADDITIONAL VENTILATION |
| | BEYOND THAT WHICH WOULD NORMALLY BE REQUIRED FOR HUMAN |
| | OCCUPANCY OF THE SPACE. |
| | |
| | 502.4.1 HYDROGEN LIMIT IN ROOMS. |
| | FOR FLOODED LEAD ACID, FLOODED NICKEL CADMIUM AND VRLA |
| | BATTERIES, THE VENTILATION SYSTEM SHALL BE DESIGNED TO |
| | LIMIT THE MAXIMUM CONCENTRATION OF HYDROGEN TO 1.0 |
| | PERCENT OF THE TOTAL VOLUME OF THE ROOM. |
| | |
| | 502.4.2 VENTILATION RATE IN ROOMS. |
| | CONTINUOUS VENTILATION SHALL BE PROVIDED AT A RATE OF |
| | NOT LESS THAN 1 CUBIC FOOT PER MINUTE PER SQUARE FOOT |
| | (CFM/FT2) OF FLOOR AREA OF THE ROOM. |
| | |
| | 502.4.3 SUPERVISION. |
| | MECHANICAL VENTILATION SYSTEMS REQUIRED BY SECTION |
| | 502.4 SHALL BE SUPERVISED BY AN APPROVED CENTRAL, |
| | PROPRIETARY OR REMOTE STATION SERVICE OR SHALL INITIATE |
| | AN AUDIBLE AND VISUAL SIGNAL AT A CONSTANTLY ATTENDED |
| | ON-SITE LOCATION. |
| | |
| | 502.5 VALVE-REGULATED LEAD-ACID BATTERIES IN CABINETS. |
| | VALVE-REGULATED LEAD-ACID (VRLA) BATTERIES INSTALLED IN |
| | CABINETS, AS REGULATED BY THE FLORIDA FIRE PREVENTION |
| | CODE, SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH VENTILATION IN ACCORDANCE |
| | WITH SECTION 502.5.1 OR 502.5.2. |
| | |
| | 502.5.1 HYDROGEN LIMIT IN CABINETS. |
| | THE CABINET VENTILATION SYSTEM SHALL BE DESIGNED TO |
| | LIMIT THE MAXIMUM CONCENTRATION OF HYDROGEN TO 1.0 |
| | PERCENT OF THE TOTAL VOLUME OF THE CABINET DURING THE |
| | WORST-CASE EVENT OF SIMULTANEOUS BOOST CHARGING OF ALL |
| | BATTERIES IN THE CABINET. |
| | |
| | 502.5.2 VENTILATION RATE IN CABINETS. |
| | CONTINUOUS CABINET VENTILATION SHALL BE PROVIDED AT A |
| | RATE OF NOT LESS THAN 1 CUBIC FOOT PER MINUTE PER |
| | SQUARE FOOT (CFM/FT2) OF THE FLOOR AREA COVERED BY THE |
| | CABINET. THE ROOM IN WHICH THE CABINET IS INSTALLED |
| | SHALL BE VENTILATED AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 502.4.1 OR |
| | 502.4.2. |
| | |
| | 502.5.3 SUPERVISION. |
| | MECHANICAL VENTILATION SYSTEMS REQUIRED BY SECTION |
| | 502.5 SHALL BE SUPERVISED BY AN APPROVED CENTRAL, |
| | PROPRIETARY OR REMOTE STATION SERVICE OR SHALL INITIATE |
| | AN AUDIBLE AND VISUAL SIGNAL AT A CONSTANTLY ATTENDED |
| | ON-SITE LOCATION. |
| | |
| | 2) PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION FOR THE UPS |
| | SYSTEMS AS OUTLINED IN SECTION 414.1.3 FBC B. PLEASE |
| | NOTE THAT THE WALLS ENCLOSING THE UPS ROOM MAY HAVE TO |

| | ROOMS AND SPACES INVOLVED IN THE PROPSED ALTERATION PER |
| | TABLE 403.3.1.1 FBC-17 MECHANICAL. PROVIDE A SCHEDULE |
| | THAT INDICATES THE REQUIRED AND PROVIDED CFMS OF |
| | OUTDOOR AIR. |
| | |
| | 4) THE NOTES ON THE PLANS INDICATE THE EQUIPMENT- |
| | CHILLERS, IRC'S, CDU'S, AND UPS BATTERY SYSTEMS ARE |
