1) Edwards io1000D and Edwards io64 panels are indicated.  Which is being used?

 

2) Visual appliances are required in all offices and all client living units per NFPA 101:9.6.3.5.  Also what is workroom 504 used for?  This may require a device as well. 

 

3) Where will the voice evacuation panel be located?

 

4) Provide visible appliances on at least all 4 walls of the exterior courtyards.   The indicated coverage is sufficient if the space were indoors, however it is the opinion of this office that being outside in direct sunlight, the reflective properties of the strobes will be lost therefore requiring direct line of sight. 

 

5) What are the square symbols with letters inside such as RM1, CC1, and TCDR?  I do not see them indicated on the legend or by note. 

 

6) Indicate the distance from the ceiling for the sleeping room visible appliances.  NFPA 72:18.5.5.7.2. 

 

7) Demonstrate tie in to activate the lighting control devices (motion sensors) as indicated in NFPA 101:7.8.1.2.2(5).
