No interior work under this permit. No mechanical work under this permit. Electrical under separate permit by deferred submittal. Existing building is non-compliant under current 2015 IBC for Type 5-B-NS, however, no greater non-conformity is proposed under this remodel,therefore no fire sprinklers are required. Existing awning cover is outside building envelope is 1612 sf. A portion of this awning (and associated facade) is being removed and a new façade is being constructed outside the building envelope. The awning coverage of the revised building is identical to the former, 1612 sf. Envelope modifications are limited to new siding, new roofing, and replacement of some existing windows as indicated on the Permit Set drawings. Under 2015 IEBC, this project qualifies as a Level 2 Alteration. Per IEBC 811.1 alterations are permitted without requiring the entire building to comply with the energy requirements of the International Energy Conservation Code. Therefore, WSEC energy compliance of the existing building is not required. All new construction is outside the building envelope and therefore energy compliance is not applicable. New components(i.e. replacement doors and windows)are compliant with current WSEC requirements. Please feel free to contact me regarding any comments or questions that you have.
