This letter reflects comments to be addressed. In order to facilitate a shorter back check time, please provide 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 2018 International Residential Code and 2018 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 REQUIREMENTS: The City of Tucson adopted the 2018 IRC with amendments on 1/1/2019. Show the current code reference on the plans. Update sheet #3 & 6. SECTIONS - DETAILS: 1. Clarify the placement of ceiling/roof insulation for determining the need for attic ventilation, R806. 2. An unvented roof assembly requires an air-impermeable rigid insulation material with a minimum R-5 value applied correctly to either side of the roof sheathing, R806.5. Show a roof design with insulation types and minimum thickness for meeting the condensation control requirement and the minimum total insulation value of R-38. PLUMBING PLANS: 1. Show gas pipe sizes in compliance with connected demand, G2413.3 & Table G2413.4(1). Provide a ¾” branch line to the furnace with a 100,000 Btu demand. MECHANICAL PLANS: 1. Provide (an HVAC system with fresh air intake) whole-house mechanical ventilation, or controlled exhaust with a calculated airflow rate, R303.4; N1103.6 & M1505.4. Show the system and appropriate flow rate setting on the plans. A two or three bedroom dwelling of 1501 – 3000 SF requires a 60 CFM continuous setting. 2. Provide demand calculations in accordance with Manual J/S/D standards, M1401.3, M1601.1. Systems shall be sized in accordance with Manual S based on building loads calculated in accordance with Manual J and duct systems sized in accordance with Manual D. Notate if the mechanical system calculations may be provided by deferred submittal. The 5 ton AC is most likely oversized. ELECTRICAL PLANS: 1. Update the code references for 2018 IRC example: arc-fault circuit interrupters are covered by E3902.16 rather than E3902.11 & 12. 2. Specify high-efficacy lamps for at least 90% of all lighting fixtures, N1104.1. INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE: 1.
