12) The horizontal duct appears that it will be running along the exterior side of the building. Exterior ductwork is required to run vertical wherever possible. 96:7.6.1

Explain why the duct is not complying with 96:7.6.1.

------------------------

Wednesday, April 24, 2024 DF: RTC: The routing provided was limited by multiple factors that made the horizontal runs necessary. Exhausting vertically to terminate on the roof is not practical due to a steep existing roof pitch that would make servicing the unit difficult and a safety concern. The existing eves are almost four feet deep which restricted us from traveling over and up as typical and would require additional supports and significant structural modification to install and support this cantilever. The location of existing equipment to remain (i.e., pool filters, backflow preventer, condenser units, etc.) makes going out and up impractical. Therefore, the routing as shown in our drawings is only practical option for constructability and serviceability given the constraints.

13) How will the horizontal and/or exterior vertical duct be supported?

Provide elevations showing the supporting method to be used on the inside of the building and on the outside of the building.
