PUBLIC COMMENT 1: Change definition of “shear
wall” to same as in Section 2102.1: SHEAR WALL. A wall designed to
resist lateral forces parallel to the plane of the wall. |
The
Commission approved changing the definition of Shear Wall in Section 2102.1.
The same definition needs to be changed in Chapter 2, Definitions. Makes code
consistent. Recommend approval |

Add the criteria in red
to Section 13-604.A.4 from Mod 2364 changes to Section 13-607.1.A.5 as shown: 13-607.A.4 Installation criteria for homes claiming
the cool roof option. The cool roof option may be claimed in the EnergyGauge
USA Fla/Res computer program where the
roof to be installed has a tested solar reflectance of greater than 4 percent
when evaluated in accordance with ASTM methods E-903, C-1549, E-1918 or CRRC
Method #1. In
cases where the roof materials have not been tested, the reflectance for the
As-Built home shall be assumed to be 4 percent. Emittance values provided by the roofing
manufacturer in accordance with ASTM C-1371 shall be used when
available. In cases where the
appropriate data are not known, emittance shall be the same as the Baseline
Home. Testing of a qualifying sample of the roofing material shall be
performed by an approved independent laboratory with these results provided
by the manufacturer. |
This
provision of Mod 2364 was left out when the cool roof option was included in
the revisions made in Mod 2327. Oversight. Recommend approval. |

air-handling unit option. The factory-sealed air-handling unit option may be
claimed in the EnergyGauge USA Fla/Res computer program if the unit has been
tested and certified by the manufacturer to have achieved a 2 percent or less
leakage rate at 1-inch water gauge when all air inlets, air outlets and
condensate drain port(s), when present, are sealed at an air pressure of
1-inch water gauge with no greater than 2-percent design cubic foot per

COMMENT 4: Add a sentence to provide a clear differentiation between the lap
splice reference and the development length reference. This is a merely a
clarification and has no substantive effect on the calculation of these
requirements. Leaving as written in Draft 2 will result in confusion and may
result in improper design. 2107.1 General.
The design of masonry structures using allowable stress design shall
comply with the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of ACI 530/ASCE 5/TMS 402
except as modified by Section 2107.2.
Lap splices shall be in accordance with ACI 530/ ASC5/ TMS 402 or in accordance
with 2107.3 or 2107.5 as specified by the architect or engineer. Development of bars in

PUBLIC COMMENT 11: Delete Section 2108.2 as shown in
Draft 2 and renumber Section 2108.3 as shown in Draft 2 as Section 2108.2.
The Sections are duplicates and say the same thing. There has been some
confusion regarding the fact that Equation 3-15 is not contained in the code.
The reference is to an equation contained in ACI 530/ASCE 5/TMS 402. The
Section, 2108.2 modifies Section 3.3.3.3 of the standard, but, makes no
changes to Equation 3-15. This is the same as is done with Equation 2-9 in
Section 2107.4 shown in Public Comment 6 above.
Section 2108 Strength Design of Masonry 2108.1 General. Change to read as shown: 2108.1 General. The design of masonry
structures using strength design shall comply with Exceptions: 1. AAC
masonry shall comply with the requirements of Chapter 1 and Appendix A of ACI
530/ASCE 5/TMS 402. 2. Where inspections are performed by a local
