BUILDING ACT 1984 -- SECTION 50(2)

摘要

The papers submitted indicate that the proposed building work in this case comprises the erection of a new office building consisting of basement, ground and floor levels 1-4 (six storeys in total), with a plan area of approximately 710m~2. The new offices are to be constructed on a new concrete raft laid on top of the pre-existing basement raft and floor slab. The building is to have a concrete frame with an external cladding of brick and glass. Each floor is to be constructed as a compartment floor. An Al was appointed to provide the building control service for the proposed work on 9 September 2005. The rear wall of the proposed building is 215mm from the site boundary. The wall on this elevation will incorporate several large windows. Given the proximity of the boundary you have proposed the use of fire-resisting glazing in these windows. However, rather than specifying glazing with fire resistance in terms of both integrity and insulation you propose to use glazing which has 60 minutes integrity but has no insulation value. You have submitted a copy of a Study report from your fire engineer to support your argument that insulation would not be necessary.
