• <br /> • <br /> • A note should be included requiring the alarms to be hardwired, interconnected, and provided with back- <br /> up battery power as required. Alarm clearances should comply with Section R314.3 Item 4 and Section <br /> 314.3.1. <br /> Response:See general notes number 1 and 8. <br /> • The roof details should comply with the ventilation requirements of IRC Section R806 and WSEC Section <br /> R402.2.3. Include a calculation for the minimum required ventilation area in the drawings. The vents <br /> should be equally distributed between the roof eaves and ridge, and around the building perimeter. <br /> Response:See roof plan for vent locations and calculations. <br /> • The attic spaces should be provided with access openings per IRC Section R807. <br /> V Response:See access hatch outside bathroom 8. <br /> • Insulation should be specified for all exterior walls, floors, slab-on-grade, and ceiling/roof cavities per <br /> WSEC Table 402.1.1. <br /> Response:See roof plan and revised floor plan for insulation specifications. <br /> • The project includes replacement of the existing windows and exterior doors. The required thermal <br /> s ratings for each type of vertical fenestration should be specified. See WSEC Table R402.1.1. <br /> Response:See revised plans for new windows vertical fenestrations <br /> • The project involves increasing the conditioned space at the upper floor. Energy credits are required per <br /> WSEC Section R406. The required number of credits should be normalized per Table R406.2. A <br /> schedule of the selected credits should be included in the drawings. The performance requirements for <br /> the selected credits should be specified. <br /> Response:See energy credits in revised plans <br /> • The project requires a whole house ventilation system per IRC Section R303.4. The drawings should <br /> show the location(s)of the system component(s),and specify the performance requirements per Section <br /> M1505.4.1. The system should be located in a central area that is open to and has unobstructed air flow <br /> with the majority of the habitable space. Alternatively, if the system is not centrally located, the system <br /> should provide ducting to each room of the house per Section M1505.4.1.1, and the drawings should <br /> specify a requirement for testing to verify air flow rates per Section M1505.4.1.6. The system should not <br /> have a sound rating exceeding 1.0 sones. <br /> Response:See revised plans for ventilation for the new additional space. <br /> • The bathrooms and kitchen should specify exhaust fans including the minimum required performance <br /> rates per IRC Table M1505.4.4(1). <br /> /Response: See plans for bathroom and kitchen exhaust fan. <br /> 2\ 5 <br />
