NC-2009 PIf4:Schedule and Overview Documents

Content of mechanical schedule

Does the requirement for PIf4: mechanical schedule refer to the provision of MEP plans or simply to HVAC plans? (In Europe mechanical and electrical planning is commonly divided into separate parties, with mechanical engineers designing the HVAC-R and plumbing.)

Hi Jens, Did you get an answer for that? I have the same question, here in Brazil electrical and mechanical plans are developed separately, by different professionals. I'm not cleared of what the template considers as "mechanical" plans and "mechanical" schedules. Can anyone help us to clarify that? Thanks!

Hi Marcio, no comment so far, but I hope reposting this comment might help us promote an answer. In my understanding most of the world inlcuding Europe and South America divides MEP-planning into HVAC-R incl. plumbing on the one hand and Electrical planning on the other...

In the past I have uploaded only the HVAC portion of the schedule and it has been accepted without comment. However, I do not know if there is an iron rule about this. Note that for the water efficiency credits you will be asked for your plumbing fixture schedule.

Hi Michael Could you please clarify exactly what did you submit under mechanical schedules for HVAC? I have to respond to the preliminary review and the schedules were not submitted the first time. Therefore, I want to be sure before I upload any document. I read in some other forum that schedules basically represent equipment tag, manufacturer, model number, fan volumes, heating / cooling capacities and efficiencies. Is this correct or do I need to add some more information? Correct me if I am wrong but I was guessing that LEED requires daily operation schedule here. Thanks!

Hello Michael, thanks for sharing. Yes, we now have an official approval that the "mechanical schedule" as required in PIf4 is satisfied with the provision of a complete set of HVAC-R plans.
