• Bikrampal Pannu Plan Check Number: B2204-008, First Building Review May 6, 2022 Architectural 1. The submitted drawings appear to include prior unpermitted work, including but not limited to the enclosed covered patio. The existing conditions shown in the drawings are not consistent with the available City of Everett and Snohomish County records. The permit history shows the construction of an open covered patio. Construction drawings for the building under Permit No. B1404-036 are available in the records database on the City of Everett website. The drawings should be revised to show all previous unpermitted work as new work; all new work is required to comply with the current code requirements. Alternatively, the drawings should show the removal of unpermitted work and restoration of the building to its previous legally permitted condition. See IRC Sections R102.7.1, R105.1, and R113.1. 2. See smoke detectors note on Sheet 1. Smoke and CO alarms should be provided per IRC Sections R314 and R315. The locations of all alarms should be shown on the plans. A note should be included requiring the alarms to be hardwired, interconnected, and provided with back-up battery power as required. Alarm clearances should comply with Section R314.3 Item 4 and Section R314.3.1. 3. The attic spaces should be provided with access openings per IRC Section R807. 4. Submitted documents included information on energy credit compliance. A schedule of the selected credits should be included in the drawings. The performance requirements for the selected credits should be specified. See selected energy credit option 5.5. Per WSEC Table R406.3, drawings should specify the option selected and specify the water heater equipment type and minimum efficiency to qualify for the credit. 5. The project requires a whole house ventilation system per IRC Section R303.4. The drawings should show the location(s) of the system component(s) and specify the performance requirements per Section M1505.4.1. The system should be located in a central area that is open to and has unobstructed air flow with the majority of the habitable space. Alternatively, the system should provide ducting to each room of the house per Section M1505.4.1.1, and the drawings should specify a requirement for testing to verify air flow rates per Section M1505.4.1.6. Also, see WSU Code Compliance Calculator, WSEC 2018: Ventilation Requirements in the submitted Washington State Energy Code Application documents prepared by Bushnell Energy Consulting. 6. Duct testing is required per WA ST Energy Code Section R403.3.3 (see exceptions). The plans should note the testing requirements. 7. See Wall Detail WD on Sheet 2. The detail should show the grade to be sloped to drain surface water away from foundation walls. R401.3 8. See Sheet 3.
