purchase order
is the form that is sent to the manufacturer or vendor and lists the items to be purchased, their exact catalog number, pricing, shipping info and other data. A separate PO is created for each vendor.
A PO serves as an internal record for the design firm. After the manufacturer receives the PO they send the acknowledgement. Most vendors do NOT accept telephone orders.
Sprinkler spacing

is an air distribution system in which supply air originates at the floor level and rises to return air grilles in the ceiling.
All of the following are strategies that can be used to reduce the power for lighting:
Designing task/ambient systems or by other means such as daylighting.
Have electrical engineer set up non-emergency lighting on a programmable timer that turns lighting off during non business hours, and include a manual override capability.
Specify automatic occupancy lighting controls in all spaces that are not regularly occupied, such as copy rooms and storage rooms.
Specify high reflective finishes to improve the brightness provided by daylighting.
Door fire requirements
PROTECTIVE glazing DOES have a limitation in a 1-hour rated BARRIER or PARTITION to 100 square inches (0.065 m2). IBC (2018) 716.2.2.3.1 – Glazing in doors.
Fire RESISTIVE glazing IS permitted in excess of 100 square inches (0.065 m2) specifically in fire doors.
Use of glass in a fire-rated partition is limited, see the DOOR VISION PANEL SIZE in TABLE 716.1(2) OPENING FIRE PROTECTION ASSEMBLIES, RATINGS, AND MARKINGS.
For example, a conference entry door would be installed in the corridor partition, and per the table, the door vision panel size is limited to “Maximum size tested”
Louvers are not allowed in a SMOKE door per 710.5.2.1.
HOWEVER, they ARE ALLOWED in a FIRE door, which this question is asking about, per 716.2.9.1.1
Solid core doors with a hollow metal frame would be allowed within a 1-hour rated partition with proof of proper testing, see required markings in TABLE 716.1 (1).
A sash door is partly constructed of glass.
There is no glass allowed in a fire-rated door if it has louvers and no louvers can be installed in a 3-hour rated door.
piles
If soils are weak or poor surface conditions are encountered, column-like shafts called piles are installed (drilled and filled with concrete, power driven) to depths to reach acceptable supporting stratum.
Piles are constructed of steel, concrete, or pressure-treated wood, such as the piers (piles) of a boat dock over water. These piles are tied together with grade beams for the building walls or columns to bear on—transferring the loads to the bottom of the piles and stronger soils.
