Re: HVAC LAYOUT AND EQUIPMENT CHANGES IN LOWER LEVEL
OF THE HIDEAWAY GOLF CLUBHOUSE (INCLUDING FIRE
MARSHALL CHANGES)
THE PURPOSE OF THIS MEMO IS TO POINT OUT, IN A STEP BY STEP
MANNER, THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE LOWER LEVEL HVAC SYSTEM.
OTHER THAN ADDING AN ADDITIONAL SEPARATE EXHAUST FAN FOR THE
UPPER LEVEL RESTROOMS, THE UPPER LEVEL HVAC SYSTEM IS AS PER
PLANS.
1) FAN COIL FOR HP -1 IS AS PER PLANS. ADDITIONAL RETURN AIR
INLETS WERE ADDED TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE
OFFICES/CORRIDOR SEPARATION. (THE MECHANICAL ENGINEER
HAD SPACES WITHOUT RETURN AIR INLETS WHICH MEANT THE
CORRIDOR WAS THE SOURCE OF RETURN AIR - CODE VIOLATION).
ALL SUPPLY AND RETURN PENETRATIONS AT THE CORRIDOR HAVE
SMOKE/FIRE DAMPERS.
2) FAN COIL FOR HP -3 (7 % TON) WAS SEPARATED INTO A 4 TON AND 5
TON SPLIT COIL SYSTEM. THE 4 TON SYSTEM ORIGINALLY WAS TO
BE A 2 % TON SYSTEM SO THE TONNAGE MATCHED (7 % TON TO 7 %
TON) BUT WAS UPSIZED TO MEET THE COMPUTER LOADS FOR THE
OFFICES IT IS SERVING (HP -3A). THE 5 TON SYSTEM IS INSTALLED
WITH A 4 THERMOSTAT "TROL-A-TEMP" ZONE CONTROL SYSTEM TO
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL CONTROL TO THE MASSAGENVAITING/SALON/
MOVEMENT STUDIO ROOMS (HP -313).
• Page 1
C�, c
y
3) HP -4 AND 5 WERE RELOCATED INTO THE SPACE THEY WILL SERVE
TO ELIMINATE REQUIREMENTS TO PENETRATE MAJOR
STRUCTURAL WALLS.
4) HP -6 IS UPSIZED FROM A 4 TON TO A 5 TON AND IS TO REMAIN AS
DRAWN EXCEPT PRO -OFFICE IS NOW PART OF THIS SYSTEM AND
NOT WOMEN'S LOUNGE SYSTEM.
5) HP -7 TO REMAIN AS PREVIOUS WITH THE EXCEPTION THAT THE
ELECTRIC RE -HEAT COILS AND THERMOSTATS ARE REPLACED
WITH A "TROL-A-TEMP" ZONE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH 4
THERMOSTATS FOR MORE COMPLETE TEMPERATURE CONTROL.
6) HP -8 (10 TON) IS NOW BEEN SEPARATED INTO 2 - 5 TON SYSTEMS
(8A AND 8B) TO ALLOW UNITS TO FIT PROPERLY IN ATTIC SPACE
WITH ADEQUATE SPACE FOR MAINTENANCE.
7) HP -9 (CADDY ROOM) TO REMAIN AS DESIGNED.
8) AC -1 SERVING ELEVATOR EQUIPMENT ROOM IS MOVED AND WILL
NOW SERVE NEW DATA/SERVER ROOM #172 (IT IS ALSO ONLY A
PROCESS LOAD AND DOES NOT REQUIRE A SOURCE OF OUTSIDE
AIR) THE ELEVATOR EQUIPMENT ROOM IS NOW COOLED WITH THE
CONDITIONED AIR FROM THE ADJACENT SPACE THROUGH A
THERMOSTATICALLY CONTROLLED EXHAUST FAN. THE FAN WILL
DRAW AIR THROUGH THE EQUIPMENT ROOM, AS REQUIRED, TO
CONDITION SPACE. (SMOKE/FIRE DAMPERS ADDED AND
INSTALLED).
9)RE( VISED) THE 2 - 5500 CFM EXHAUST FANS (EF 8 & 9) SERVING THE
GOLF CART BARN HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH 2 - 7533 CFM
EVAPORATIVE COOLERS (ACTUAL CFM). DURING JOB WALK, FIRE
MARSHALL VERBALLY APPROVED SUBSTITUTION AND SAID HE
PREFERRED THE EVAPORATIVE COOLER SYSTEM BECAUSE IT
LOWERED THE SPACE TEMPERATURE, RAISED THE HUMIDITY AND
DID A MORE COMPLETE JOB OF VENTILATING THE SPACE.
(THE ENGINEERING CALCULATIONS ARE INCLUDED IN ATTACHED
PLAN CHECK CORRECTIONS).
10)RE( VISED) THE LOWER LEVEL LOCKER ROOM/MASSAGE
ROOM/RESTROOM EXHAUST SYSTEM HAS BEEN SPLIT INTO .
MULTIPLE EXHAUST SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE BETTER CONTROL OF
AIR FLOW. EF -5 IS THE ONLY EXHAUST SYSTEM TERMINATING ON
THE ROOF FROM THE LOWER LEVEL. (A 1 HR SMOKE/FIRE DAMPER
HAS BEEN INCLUDED AT FLOOR/CEILING SEPARATION BETWEEN
FLOORS) EF 13,14 & 15 TERMINATE NOW NEAR THE WEST SIDE
• Page 2
LOADING DOCK. (MINIMUM CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS TO DOOR
AND EVAPORATIVE COOLER INTAKE).
11)RE( VISED) OUTSIDE AIR (FRESH AIR) DUCTING FOR LOWER LEVEL
NO LONGER COMES COMPLETELY FROM ROOF WELL. SUPPLY
FANS 4 AND 5 HAVE BEEN ADDED FOR THE LOWER LEVEL WITH
THEIR INTAKE POINTS AT THE LADIES LOUNGE PATIO AND GARDEN
MASSAGE AREA (SEE M1.0) THE SUPPLY FANS WILL OPERATE WITH
INTERLOCKS WITH CORRESPONDING FAN COILS. (OUTSIDE AIR
INTAKE FOR HP -1 FAN COIL DOES NOT HAVE A SUPPLY FAN. ROOF
TOP AIR INTAKE IS TO MEET ALL 10' CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS.
12)AS DRAWN, REVISED HVAC LAYOUT SHOULD MEET ALL (REVISED)
FIRE MARSHALL AND BUILDING DEPARTMENT REQUIREMENTS.

SECTION 708 FIRE PARTITIONS
708.1 General. Wall assemblies installed as required by Sections 310.3, 402.7.2 and 1004:3.2
shall comply with this section. These include:
1. Walls separating dwelling units.
2. Walls separating guestrooms in occupancies in Group R -L
3. Walls separating tenant spaces in covered mall buildings.'.
4. Corridor walls.
708.2 Materials. The walls shall be of materials .permitted by the building type of construction.
708.3 Fire -resistance rating. The fire -resistance rating of the walls shall be 1 hour.
Exceptions:
1. Corridor walls as permitted by Table 1004.3.2.1.
2. Dwelling unit and guestroom separations in buildings of Types IIB, IIIB and VB
construction shall have fire -resistance ratings of not less than 1 /2 hour in buildings equipped
throughout with an automatic sprinkler system in accordancewith Section 903.3.1.1.
708.4 Continuity. Fire partitions shall extend from the top of the floor assembly below to the
underside of the floor/roof slab or deck above or to the fire -resistance -rated floor/ceiling or
roof/ceiling assembly above, and shall be securely attached thereto. If the partitions are not
continuous to the deck, and where constructed of combustible construction;. the space between
the ceiling and the deck above shall be fire -blocked or draftstopped in accordance with Sections
716.2.1 and 716.3.1 at the partition line. The supporting construction shall be protected to afford
the required fire -resistance rating of the wall supported, except for tenant and guestroom sepa-
ration walls and exit access corridor walls in buildings of Types IIB, IIIB, and VB construction.
Exceptions:
1. The wall need not be extended into the crawl space below where the floor above the crawl
space has 'a minimum 1 -hour fire -resistance rating.
2. Where the room -side fire -resistance -rated membrane of the corridor is carried through to
the underside of a fire -resistance -rated floor or roof above, the -ceiling of the corridor shall be
permitted to be protected by the use of ceiling materials as required for a 1 -hour fire-
esistance-rated floor or roof system'.
Where the corridor ceiling is constructed as required for the corridor walls, the walls shall
le permitted to terminate at the upper membrane of such ceiling assembly.
The fire partition separating tenant spaces in a mall, complying with Section 402.7.2, are
.ot required to extend beyond the underside of a ceiling that is not part of a fire-resistance-
ated assembly. A wall is not required in attic or ceiling. spaces above tenant separation walls.
Fireblocking or draftstopping is not required at the partition line in Group R-2 buildings
that do not exceed four stories in height provided the attic space is subdivided by
draftstopping into areas not exceeding 3,000 square feet (279 in 2 ) or above every two
dwelling units, whichever is smaller.
6. Fireblocking or draftstopping is not required at the partition line in buildings equipped
with an automatic sprinkler system installed throughout in accordance with Section 903.3.1.1
or 903.3.1.2 provided that automatic sprinklers are installed in combustible floor/ceiling and
roof/ceiling spaces.

708.9 Ducts and air transfer openings. Penetrations by ducts and air transfer openings shall
comply with Sections 711 and 715.
SECTION 708
FIRE PARTITIONS
The IBC identifies four locations where fire partitions are required:
1. Walls separating dwelling units as required by Section 310.3
2. Walls separating guestrooms in Group R-1 Occupancies per'Section 310.3
3. Walls separating tenant spaces in covered mall buildings as required by Section 402.7.2
4. Walls of corridors per Section 1004.3.2 This section regulates the design and construction
of fire partitions installed in the listed.locations.
708.3 Fire -resistance rating. The fire -resistance rating of fire partitions is 1 hour, unless a
reduction is permitted by one of two exceptions. Exception 1 refers to Table 1004.3.2.1, which
identifies the required fire -resistance rating of a corridor based upon three factors—the
occupancy classification of the area served by the corridor, the occupant load the corridor serves
and whether or not the building is sprinklered. Where conditions warrant, the table indicates that
the corridor needs no fire -resistance rating. The second exception applies to walls separating
dwelling units and guestrooms in buildings of nonrated construction. The presence of an
automatic sprinkler system complying with NFPA 13 reduces the required fire -partition rating to
30 minutes. It should be noted that the exception does not permit this, reduction where an NFPA
13R system is installed.
708.4 Continuity. Consistent with the required continuity of fire barriers, the general
requirement for fire partitions is that they must extend from the floor to the floor or roof deck'
above. However, unlike the provisions for fire barriers, fire partitions may terminate short of the
floor or roof deck under various conditions. Where a fire -resistance -rated floor/ceiling or roof/.
ceiling is provided, a fire partition need only extend to, and be securely attached to, the ceiling
membrane. For an example of this provision as it relates to corridor construction, refer to Fig-ure
708-1. Under this condition in combustible construction, fireblocking or draftstopping must be
installed at the .partition line in the concealed space above the ceiling. Any supporting
construction is to be at least 1 -hour fire -resistance -rated, except for tenant and guestroom.
separation walls and corridor walls in buildings* of Types IIB, IIIB and VB construction.
The following exceptions modify the continuity provisions .of this section:
1. Where a crawl space exists below a floor assembly of at least 1 -hour fire -resistance -rated
-construction, the fire partition does not need to extend into the underfloor space. See Figure
708-2.
2. The arrangement shown in Figure 708-3 would meet the code requirement for adequately
enclosing a corridor. The corridor walls are protected on the side of the occupied use spaces
by a fire -resistance -rated membrane extending from the floor to the floor or roof above. In
this -case, the ceiling over the corridor may be considered part of a fire -resistance -rated floor
or roof assembly, and the corridor side of the ceiling protected by appropriate ceiling
materials would satisfy the fire -resistance rating for the assembly.
3. The code provides that the corridor ceiling may be of the same construction as permitted
for corridor walls as shown in Figure 708-4. In all probability, typical wall construction
might not pass the 1 -hour test when tested in a horizontal position. However, this
arrangement is considered to be adequate protection for the corridor separating it from the
spaces above. By establishing various methods for the enclosure of fire -resistance -rated
corridors, the code is essentially attempting to get a minimal separation between the exit
corridor and the occupied -use spaces. Any arrangement of the 1 -hour fire -resistance -rated
construction that effectively intervenes between these use spaces and the corridor would
satisfy this requirement.
4. In covered mall buildings, fire partitions separating tenant spaces may.terminate at the
underside of a ceiling, even if the ceiling is not part of a fire -resistance -rated assembly. No
type of extension of the fire partition is required by this section for attics and similar spaces
above the ceiling.
5. In attic areas of Group R-2 Occupancies less than five stories in height, the draftstopping
or fireblocking required by this section may be omitted where the attic area is sub -divided
by draftstopping into areas not exceeding two. dwelling units or 3,000 square feet (279 m 2 ),
whichever is less.
6. In combustible buildings where the fire partitions stop at the fire -resistance -rated ceiling
membrane, fireblocking or draftstopping is not required at the partition line if the building is
fully sprinklered. Under this exception, sprinklers must be installed in the combustible
floor/ceiling and roof/ceiling spaces.
708.5 Exterior walls. This section clarifies that where a fire -resistance -rated enclosure is
bounded by one or more exterior walls, the exterior wall portions of the enclosure need only
comply with the provisions of Section 704. The limited exposure potential from exterior spaces
does not warrant the rating of exterior walls for enclosure purposes.
708.6 Openings. Section 714 is referenced for the determination of the minimum fire -protection
ratings for openings through fire partitions. For all fire partitions other than those creating a
corridor enclosure, the minimum required opening protection assembly is 3 /4 hour. For
corridors, the openings need only be protected by 20 -minute fire -protection assemblies.
