5) No Illumination of means of egress noted for the outside dining area and through to the end of the planter. 101:12.2.8

If the original shell is providing this lighting or the lighting is new/changed with this build out, show the lighting on the plans and note it as necessary for clarity.

Tuesday, October 19, 2021 DF: Response: Emergency lights have been added at the outdoor seating area.

10/20/2021 dfeagle

6) Emergency lighting: No emergency lighting noted in the outdoor dining area, outside all exit doors and inside the bar. No manufacturer make / model or manufacturers specification sheet provided to determine if the placement of the emergency lighting meets the manufacturers installation requirement to meet NFPA 101:7.9

Some of the EL's are on the walls over racks, equipment which detracts from the covered egress path. It has been my experience that with today's technology emergency lighting coverage varies greatly. Even with new technology, most EL's only cover a 3' or 6' wide egress path from the wall/location mounted and depending on manufacturer/model, only 8' to each side.

a) Provide the manufacturers specification documentation so I can verify coverage. OR,

b) Provide photometrics demonstrating the EL's coverage complies with 101:7.9.2.1.1

NOTE: Not all Wall type EL's are listed for ceiling mount. If the EL's are to be mounted on the ceiling, provide the ceiling height.

Tuesday, October 19, 2021 DF: Response: See photometric calculations for emergency egress lighting on sheet E-7.
