RE: Plan Check: BLD2015-0408
Project: Sun Room Addition
th
Project Address: 1105 12 Avenue N.
During a review of the plans by the Building Division for the above noted project, it was found that
the following information, clarifications, or changes are needed. A complete review cannot be
performed until the revised plans/documents, including a written response indicating where the
clouded or otherwise highlighted changes can be found on the revised plans, have been submitted
to a Permit Coordinator. Reviews by other divisions, such as Planning, Engineering, or Fire, may
result in additional comments.
1.The plans show that an 8-wide opening will allow access to the proposed sun room. Please
clarify if that opening is existing or new. If the opening is new, or if an existing opening is
widened, please provide:
a.Lateral (wind and seismic) engineering accounting for the new (or change in size of
the) aforementioned opening.
b.Calculations for the size of the header to be required at the 8 opening.
2.The aforementioned 5-wide opening appears to have no door, thus including the sun room
in the conditioned space of the home. Please provide:
a.Clarify how the proposed sun room meets the Washington State Energy Code
(WSEC) Table 402.1.1.
b.Path of compliance to satisfy the Washington State Energy Code (WSEC) Table
406.2, stating that 0.5 energy credit must be obtained.
Please not that if thermal isolation is maintained between the sun room and the house, the
above comments 2a and 2b need not be satisfied.
3.Included with this submittal were structural calculations for the sun room. However, it
appears that no calculations were included showing how the load is transferred from the
floor level, through the posts and into the foundation. Please clarify.
