4) Provide a door and hardware schedule. Ensure that you show which doors will have panic hardware based on the occupant loads of the main event hall and the warming kitchen area. Note: A factor of 7 is utilized for the Main event hall based upon NFPA 101:12.1.7.1.

|
|
5) Provide details for the ramp and the stairs including handrails and guards (if applicable based on elevation). The plans indicate that the shop drawings for the ramp guards and handrails will be submitted to the architect. I need more detailed information as part of this review for both the stairs and the ramp.
|
| |
|
|
6) Provide Furniture Fixtures and Equipment plan (FF&E) for the building especially for the porches, and the main event hall and warming kitchen area.
|
| |
|
|
7) For the carpet tile and rubber floor for the exercise area the plans indicate that they are class 1 per ASTM E 648. The code requires that the Carpet comply with ASTM D 2859 and the rubber flooring must meet .1w/cm2 minimum critical radiant flux per NFPA 253 or ASTM E648. NFPA 101 12.3.3.5.3, and 10.2.7.
Make the necessary changes to the plans.

8) Emergency lighting
The emergency lighting shown is not adequate for the space. The large rooms (warming kitchen, main event hall, casual sitting area, yoga room, and exercise room) are only showing an exit sign/emergency combo at the door, no other emergency lights are indicated. The center hallway is also only showing exit sign/emergency light combos over each door which are approx. 70 feet apart. Once the FFE plans is provided, if there is seating on the outside porch(es) emergency lighting will need to be provided for the length of the porch(es). Regardless of the presence of tables and chairs on the porch, emergency lights are required to illuminate on the porch that leads from the building to the ground, including the stairs and ramps. This is for both porches. The restrooms and the hallway leading to the restrooms require emergency lighting.
Provide specs for the proposed emergency lighting units, so I can verify coverage. I would recommend against using wall packs (cat eyes) for the large open rooms based on past experience. For these I would recommend that you consider using battery backup normal lighting fixtures. Wall packs are designed for corridors.
