	3) Door 118 is addressed again on page 4 of 6 of the Building comments Preliminary Review (in Red). Here it indicates the door will have Delayed-Egress with panic hardware and There will be a push button to deactivate the delayed-egress rim exit device to allow egress. Also, there will be a motion sensor on the egress side for redundancy. Delayed-Egress signage is being in stalled stating” Push until alarm sounds…” From what I can tell the door will have both Delayed-Egress AND Sensor-Release of electrical Locking Systems. a) Is it the intent to use both Delayed-Egress AND Sensor-Release on this door? Keep in mind that the Sensor-Release will over-=ride the Delayed-Egress each time someone approaches the door. And that you will have a Push Button to intermittently deactivate the Delayed-Egress to allow egress. See comment #1 for additional information regarding this door.
	4) Doors 100A & 100B appear to be operating like Sensor-Release of Electrical Locking Systems (101:7.2.1.6.2). Show on plans the location of the motion sensor and push to exit button.
	5) Door 200B. Information provided indicates it will be setup in the same manner as Door 118 above. Same comments and questions as for Door 118.
