Bobby Vang • • <br /> Ware Malcomb <br /> Plan Check Number: B2304-096, First Building Review <br /> May 17, 2023 <br /> Architectural <br /> 1. The project appears to involve created new conditioned space within a non-conditioned or semi- <br /> conditioned space. The original construction drawings under Permit No. B1503-026 do not <br /> specify insulation for the building, including the roof system. The conditioned space is required <br /> to be insulated for new construction per WSEC Sections C402.1 and C502.1. The notes on <br /> Sheet I2.1 and Details on Sheet I8.1 do not specify the required insulation and should be <br /> revised. The required insulation values for each component, including fenstrations, should be <br /> specified. See IBC Section 1203.1, and the definition of"additions" per WSEC Section C202. <br /> Response: Notes on Sheet I2.1 under Ceiling Notes #22 and Floor Plan Notes #24 and #25 revised <br /> to include insulation notes at new conditioned space. Details on Sheet I8.1/A, F, P, & PW revised to <br /> show specified insulation. <br /> 2. Continuing with the previous comment, components of the existing building may not comply <br /> with the current requirements for the thermal envelope of the new heated space. Such <br /> components may include but are not limited to the exterior fenestrations, roof, and slab. The <br /> existing building is required to be modified as required to comply. Alternatively, the envelope <br /> may comply with WSEC Section C402.1.5. Documentation substantiated the envelope design <br /> should be submitted for review. <br /> Response: At the new conditioned space, Wall legend per I2.1 reference exterior shell wall w/new <br /> furring at walls and at windows per details PW & P/ I8.1 Sheet show insulation required. Details PW <br /> & P/ I8.1 Sheet also show specified insulation at the secondary/top drop ceiling at new conditioned <br /> space. <br /> 3. The new conditioned space is required to comply with the energy credit provisions of WSEC <br /> Section C406.1. A schedule of the selected credits and the performance requirements should <br /> be included in the construction drawings. Where enhancements to the thermal envelope are <br /> selected, these shall be in addition to increased requirements resulting from the component <br /> performance alternative analysis per Section C402.1.5. See WSEC Section C502.1. <br /> Response: Selected credits and performance requirement shown on Sheet I0.1. <br /> This review has been performed for general compliance with the building codes as adopted and <br /> amended by the state of Washington and the city of Everett. Corrections and comments made <br /> during the review process do not relieve the project from compliance with code and permit <br /> requirements. The designers-of-record are responsible for a complete design in accordance with <br /> the laws of the state of Washington. <br /> If you have any questions or require additional clarification, please contact us. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Drew Martin, P.E., S.E. <br /> 0 3200 Cedar Street ® 425.257.8810 everetteps@everettwa.gov <br /> Everett,WA 98201 425.257.8857 fax everettwa.gov/permits <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
