PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS

Plan review for the above referenced structure has been completed. This letter reflects comments to be addressed. In order to facilitate a shorter back check time, please provide two sets of updated plans and calculations with a written response to each of the notated items indicating action taken. Do not cloud the changes made for comment revisions.

SCOPE OF REVIEW:

The scope of this plan review covers architectural, plumbing, mechanical, energy conservation and electrical. All code references are to the 2012 International Residential Code and 2012 International Energy Conservation Code. All features were checked only to the extent allowed by the submittals provided. All portions of this project are assumed to meet or will meet other departmental requirements, conditions and concerns before permit approval.

GENERAL COMMENTS:

1. All SFR and Duplex plans submitted after March 1, 2009 require a solar water system, or future installation preparation City of Tucson Ordinance #10549 with one of the following provisions: ½"control conduit and two ¾" copper piping for water with rooftop termination; straight 3" capped sleeve; or an accessible attic (clear path 30" wide x 30" high) over the water heater. Show appropriate notation.
2. All SFR and Duplex plans submitted after July 1, 2009 require a solar photo-voltaic system, or future installation preparation City of Tucson Ordinance #10549 with the following provisions: 1. A 4 square feet area for (meter, disconnect & inverter) equipment adjacent to the electrical service panel or near the proposed collector panel space. 2. The best roof space available for accommodating PV solar collector panels with capacity for collector dead loading (typically 4 lbs/SF). 3. A minimum 3,800 volt-ampere PV electrical load entry on the Service Load Calculation (Show as a continuous load of 15.8 A). 4. An Electrical Panel Schedule with a 240 volt circuit breaker space labeled "reserved for Photo Voltaic". See electrical comments.

SITE PLAN:

1. Clarify the room name at the garage, R106.1.1.

PLUMBING PLANS:

1. Show hot water pipe with minimum R-3 insulation, N1103.4.2.
2.

Remove the 2" gray water pipe notation from the kitchen sink and bathroom groups.
3. Update the gas demand notation with the current gas (1,000 BTUh = 1 CFH) conversion coordinated with Southwest Gas.

MECHANICAL PLANS:

1. Provide (an HVAC system with) whole-house mechanical ventilation with continuous or a minimum controlled intermittent airflow rate, R303.4 & M1507.3. Show a source of outside supply air or continuous exhaust fan function.
2. Show supply ducts with minimum R-8 insulation (includes vented attics) except when completely located inside the thermal envelope, N1103.2.1. All other ducts outside of the thermal envelope require R-6 insulation. Update note #7.
3. Show dryer vent size and location for venting to exterior, M1501.

ELECTRICAL PLANS:

1. Add a double breaker space for future Photo Voltaic on the panel schedule.
2. Revise the electrical load calculation showing a minimum 3,800 volt-ampere or 16 A continuous load entry for future Photo Voltaic equipment.
3. Provide notation requiring tamper resistant receptacles for 125 volt, 15A and 20A receptacles, R4002.14.

INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE:

1. Tucson is in climate zone 2B. The simplified prescribed energy values for glazing is U=0.40, skylights U=0.65, ceiling R=38 (R-30 with conditions) and walls R=13. Show the "R" values of insulation and the maximum "U" factors of the windows and doors on the plans as well as the solar heat gain coefficient SHGC minimum value of 0.25, N1102.1. Update the operative windows u-factor entry at the 2012 IRC Table on sheet #4, or the RES-CK entry.
