| 06/11/2013 | ROBERT SHERRY | MECHANICAL-COMMERCIAL | REVIEW | Denied | 1. The code section numbers in the 2012 IECC are completely different from the code section numbers in the 2006 IECC; revise the code sections in addition to the edition of the IECC. In addition, note B under the Code Information block refers to the 2006 IMC. [Initial comment: The 2012 International Mechanical Code and the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code are the relevant codes for this project. Revise the notes on sheets M0.1 and M3.1 that refer to the 2006 code editions.] 2. Comment not addressed. [Initial comment: Demonstrate energy code compliance for the addition to the building envelope using calculations based on the current code. Reference: Sections C101.4.3, C101.5, and C103.2, International Energy Conservation Code 2012.] 3. Comment not addressed. [Initial comment: Revise the energy code analysis for the building envelope; coordinating the building components used in the analysis with those shown on the drawing (e.g. a solid concrete wall is not the same as a wall constructed with CMU). Reference: Section C303.1, IECC 2012, as amended by the City of Tucson.] 4. The equipment schedule does not provide adequate information to compare the efficiency requirements for the heating cycle and until the architect chooses between the options of Section C406, it is not clear if the high efficiency requirements of Section C406.2 apply for this activity. [Initial comment: The HVAC equipment (i.e. the specified packaged heat pumps) shall meet the minimum efficiency requirements. Reference: Section C403.2.3, IMC 2012.] 5. Comment not addressed. [Initial comment: Revise the mechanical energy code compliance certificate for the addition. The submitted mechanical energy code compliance certificate states, "COMPLIANCE FAILS: PROPOSED EFFICIENCY FAILS TO MEET CODE REQUIREMENTS." Reference: Section C303.1, International Energy Conservation Code 2012.] 6. Supply information to show that the controls for the heat pumps provide for automatic shutdown and automatic start-up per Sections C403.2.4.3.2 and C403.2.4.3.3, IECC 2012. [Initial comment: Show that each rooftop unit has a thermostatic control that provides for off-hour and set-back control, automatic shutdown and start-up control and, if the control does not require manual changeover from the heating and cooling modes, restricts set point overlap. Reference: Section C403.2.4, IECC 2012.] 7. Comment not resolved, the HVAC load calculations are apparently based on the 2006 IECC and the total cooling load is less than the sensible load. [Initial comment: Provide heating and cooling load calculations that justify the capacities of the heating and cooling equipment specified for the project. (Clarify also how the total cooling capacities for the heat pumps are less than the sensible capacities.) Reference: Sections C403.2.1 and C403.2.2, IECC 2012.] 8. The ventilation calculations are based on the 2006 IMC which results in a greater amount of ventilation than required by Section 403, IMC 2012. This causes a problem when attempting to reduce the ventilation rate to the minimum required by Section 403, IMC 2012, as required by Section C403.2.5, IECC 2012.[Initial comment: Provide calculations demonstrating adequate ventilation using the current code. Reference: Section 403.2, IMC 2012.] |
