Siegfried, Charles
I got through the revised plans. It looks fine, with the usual warning that just because I missed something (not
that I ever do), it still needs to meet code.
There are still a couple things I don't have;
There's no code review for HVAC and energy code compliance. I've attached a copy of the stretch code;
essentially, it amends the 2009 IECC. This building is not exempt. We'll need to see which code compliance
path (prescriptive or performance method) you've chosen and specific details. I'm used to seeing that code review
from the HVAC engineer. I'll issue the full building permit without that information but we'll need it before we do
the duct work inspections. The building mechanicals need to be commissioned when it's finished (503.2.9) and
need to pass so it's important that the equipment is sized properly.
The plumbing and electrical information on the architectural sheets is limited. I'd ordinarily send the plans to the
plumbing and electrical inspectors for review to avoid problems during construction. Since this is a simple
building, I don't foresee any problems, but it might be good to have the plumbing and electrical contractors check
in with the inspectors when they take out permits.
