Electrical Plan

Electrical Plan Posted (moved to Group Page)

 

Responded to Alton's latest comments copied below:

Let's revise the following: 1) remove one outlet from the right gym wall (preferably the 2nd one counting from the top) 2) center the 4 outlets at the foot of each table 3) remove the outlets along the hallway at tx room 2,3, document and office (I'm not sure if inspector would approve but let's see what happens since we do have outlets on the other side of the hallway) 4) subpanel in breakroom (wall next to steps) 5) like to create several attic access points in the ceiling (file storage, laundry, gym - not sure how many to have to make crawl space accessible)

Alton,

I've added a reply to your first question in a new discussion thread for Interior Elevations and Details.

I think removing some of the five skylights is fine.

Tim,

Reviewed the electrical. Some minor changes to note:

1) I like the idea of the admin wall being open so the lights in the file room would look more consistent to have two can lighting in this space since it can be seen through the admin space.

 

2) Likely can't put in 5 skylights so thinking of balancing out 3 across the hallway.

Alton,

 

I kept one 2x4 parabolic in Tx room #3.

I also have made some other modifications to the drawings and posted them - see updated drawings on Page 1 of the main group page.

Tim,

Just reviewed the lighting changes and there are some corrections as follows:

1)My office should have two 2x 4 parabolics

2) Tx room #3 could have two 1x 4 Avante or possible one 2 x 4 Avante since this will be the smaller of the tx rooms due to the 45 degree hallway corner - what do you think would fit in this space?

3) Tx room #1 and #2 should have two 2 x 4 Avantes

4) File storage room should have one 2x 4 parabolic

5) Move one of the skylights so that it's between tx room #2 and ADA BR and then space the other two equally down hallway

We can discuss details when we meet.

Copied from Ed's E-mail - Current drawings reflect the change below:

Hi TIm,

Alton I'll modify the drawings tomorrow and re-post them on these threads.  I had some questions on the elevation thread and one that I wanted to verify with you on this one ---

How about a new front entrance door matching the exterior Spanish style? Do we need to consider ADA requirements for this door if we are not calling this our main entrance?

I am thinking to leave it as is for the initial permit (so it doesn't become a -main- entry issue). After the permit we can do a change to give it more of a Spanish Style.

---

Are you fine with leaving the entry as is so it doesn't create a potential - ""Main Entry"" confusion then making a modification (which we can submit as a change) to the building department - after we already have the permit?

 

yes, that's fine. get the building permit then make the changes. just wanted to plan ahead as to what type/style door will be appropriate and be able to order in a timely manner.

Tim,

Are the exterior sconces in front and back of the building motion sensored?

Currently the exterior sconses are on switches - but we can do motion if you want.

Let's do lights that automatically turn on when its senses dark.

Also want to place several eyeball lights in the main hallway able to shine onto exterior wall of tx room 1,2,3)

Do you want eyeballs or recessed with adjustible gimble (these are more contemporary)

Recessed w/ gimble would work

Downlighting reflecting onto the stone tile ledge wall behind admin counter and accent wall in gym?

We will have the cove lighting that will help accent this but we can add wall washers as well.

This is your area of expertise, whichever you think will work to accent some soft light off the wall. Didn't know that cove lighting will provide this effect.

You allowed 5' opening for a door from the admin to the gym, should we consider a larger door for this opening or consider a frosted 3 panel door with a side 3 panel frosted window that's 6' H x 1' W?

I like the Idea of a 3 panel door (but that would mean 7ft openening) - with the third one being 1ft wide.

I meant to have a 36" wide door with decorative detail of a 3 square panel look  leaving 2 ft to make the frosted window vertically 6'H x 1' W, divided into 3 sections. I will send you an example via email.

We need to double check if 1 x 4 lights are enough light for the rooms or consider 2 x 4.

Your current office and its gym - how big of a space do you have relative to the lighting provided - maybe we can use that as a reference to keep the 2 rows of 1x4's or if we need to increase it to 2x4's

I think 1x4 in the gym and open tx space is fine, it's just the tx rooms that i'm questioning. Also need to price out the costs for both.
