Fort Pierce Engineering (FPE) was requested to review the effect of replacing the
current mechanical room doors which contain jalousie window / vents with new solid
doors for the subject property. FPE performed a site on May 15, 2014 to review the
existing conditions.
The mechanical rooms contain the condensing units for the residences in each
building. The rooms each currently contain a large exhaust fan that is design to draw
air through a large opening at the rear of each room, and then up through the
condenser coils to discharge from the mechanical room fan at the roof.
Airflow to each room is primarily provided by the opening at the rear of each room,
which is not being altered. The replacement of the existing doors to each mechanical
room as described above will have a negligible impact on the room ventilation as it is

Dear Mr. Peterson:

Our office has reviewed the Laundry and A/C Door replacement for this building.
These room are no -habitable rooms. We have determined the following:
1. The Laundry door is centered in east exterior wall of the building on the first
floor.
2. The A/C door is centered in east exterior wall of the building on the second
floor.
3. Both doors are 3'-0" wide x 6'-8" high with jalousie windows.
4. We have checked the wind pressures for these doors and each door has a wind
pressure requirement of +71.8 psf and -78.1 psf. (see attached)
5. We have reviewed the Therma Trot Doors, Smooth Star approval under FL-
10537.1 Rl, dated February 27, 2012. These doors are impact resistant and
exceed the wind pressures required. We have stamped them reviewed.
6. The doors will be installed with 1" bucks, therefore the fasteners shown on the
Product testing sheets will be used.
7. Attached is a letter, dated January 7, 2015 from Fort Pierce Engineering, Inc.
indicating that the replacement of the louvered jalousie door with a solid door,
will not affect the performance of the mechanical equipment within this room.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 954-792-8525.
