| Energy | 01/03/2019 | Approved | Sheet P002 indicates that a 119 gallon tank-type electric water heater is part of the scope of the permit. The plans do not state the maximum allowable % per hour heat loss of the water heater. The 2015 Virginia Energy Conservation Code (VECC) Table C404.2 requires a maximum allowable heat loss of 0.53% per hour or less.
In the resubmission, state the maximum allowable % per hour heat loss for the water heater in the electric storage water heater schedule.

| Energy | 01/03/2019 | Approved | Section C405.2.1 of the 2015 Virginia Energy Conservation Code (VECC) requires that Restrooms be controlled with occupant sensor controls. Sheet E101 does not show an occupant sensor in the Men's Changing room.
In the resubmission, show an occupancy sensor in the Men's Changing room in order to comply with section C405.2.1 of the 2015 VECC. |
| Energy | 02/04/2019 | Approved | Sheet P002 indicates that a hot water recirculation system is part of the scope of the permit. The pump is required by section C404.6.1 of the 2015 VECC to be fitted with automatic controls to turn off when there is no hot water demand.
In the resubmission, show automatic controls that will shut down the hot water recirculation pump when there is no hot water demand.
***02/04/2019*** Comment not addressed. The aqua stat in note D maintains the temperature of the hot water in the loop, 24/7. It does not satisfy the code requirement to shut down the hot water loop during periods of no hot water demand. Typically a programmable timer is required to turn off the hot water recirculation pump and override the aqua stat so that hot water |
| Energy | 02/04/2019 | Approved | Section C405.2.1.1 of the 2015 VECC requires that occupant sensor controls function in a manner that automatically turns off lights within 30 minutes of all occupants leaving the space. Sheet E101 lighting key note 3 states that the hallway occupancy sensor will dim lighting to 50% when the hallway is not occupied. This does not meet code, as the code requires that the occupancy sensor control shut off the non-emergency lighting.
In the resubmission revise the design to comply with section C405.2.1.1 of the 2015 VECC.
****02/04/2019**** comment partially addressed. Lighting key note 3 does states "turn lighting within 30 minutes of all occupants leaving space." This is not the correct sequence of operation. The correct sequence i |

| Zoning | 01/08/2019 | Approved | Interior alteration of existing approved retail space on the ground floor level in building in sp239 (Stafford place I). No exterior work is proposed. Proposed use is health and fitness (yoga) identified in the Arlington retail plan under services and repairs.
Rejected: please address the following comments.
1. Per the Arlington retail map, the proposed use is allowed upon approval of an admin change. This is because, the site plan does not really specify the type of retail to be allowed. But because the health and fitness use (YOGA ) is consistent with proposed retail use in this space, admin change is required. To proceed, reference is made to the Arlington retail plan for guidance.
