A

Indoor Air Quality regulations

18
Q

When goods are shipped FOB destination, who has title to them while they are in transit

A

seller

19
Q

purchase order

A

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.

20
Q

Sprinkler spacing

A
21
Q

Displacement ventilation

A

is an air distribution system in which supply air originates at the floor level and rises to return air grilles in the ceiling.

22
Q

All of the following are strategies that can be used to reduce the power for lighting:

A

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.

23
Q

Door fire requirements

A

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.

24
Q

piles

A

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.

25
Q

mortise lock

A

named for the complete assembly installed in a door recess (mortise), thus making it one of the most commonly used and secure locking units. Mortise locks are installed in a door as a deadbolt and a latch bolt, which retracts with a single operation. They provide a much stronger locking operation than the bored lock and are used in high-security areas.

26
Q

Which of the following is the easiest and least expensive type of construction to enclose a 1-hour rated corridor?

A

5/8” (16 mm) Type X-gypsum wallboard on 3 5/8” (92 mm) metal studs

27
Q

valuating the acoustic quality for floor and ceiling

A

IIC and STC

28
Q

impact insulation class

A

a single-number rating of a floor/ceiling’s impact sound performance. The higher the IIC rating the better the floor performs in reducing impact sounds in the test frequency range.

29
Q

Performance specifications

A

are most likely to give the owner the least expensive price overall, while these may create more work for the general contractor.

30
Q

Proprietary specs

A

are easier for the designer to write and contractor to price, but when a specific brand name and options are required, this limits pricing options.

31
Q

CSI

A

is a national association that produces a system or tool for writing specifications not a spec type.

32
Q

Project management software

A

an help with tracking many activities and metrics related to the project progress and task completion.
budget versus actual time for a design phase
This type of software can also allow for comparing work completed vs. work scheduled, allowing for the project manager to more easily see and make necessary adjustments in staffing to compensate.

Software can now replace or create many of the charts and forms that project managers have relied on in the past, including tracking communications (including meeting minutes) with clients, the general contractor, and consultants.

33
Q

Which subgroup of the MasterFormat Divisions are most often utilized by Interior Designers?

A

facility Construction

34
Q

MasterFormat Specification

A

MasterFormat® is not a specification. It is a proprietary system, or master list, of titles and numbers that standardize the numbering and format of project-related information for use in specifying, cost estimating, and data filing, developed by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) and Construction Specifications Canada (CSC). MasterFormat is one brand of master specification, MasterSpec is another.

35
Q

Performance specifications

A

tell what results the final construction assembly must achieve, but they give the contractor some choice in how they will be achieved. Most interior design specifications fall somewhere between these two extremes. Traditionally, specifications have been primarily prescriptive in nature.

36
Q

Performance codes

A

provide the objective but not specific instructions on how to achieve it. The focus is on the desired outcome, not a single solution, and compliance is based on meeting the criteria established by the performance code.

37
Q

To encourage competitive bidding, public projects usually require what type of construction specifications?

A

performance specifications
The type of specification selected depends on several factors. Public projects usually require open specifications to encourage competitive bidding

38
Q

What part of the bid documents outlines the basic rules covering the bid and bid process?

A

general conditions
These general conditions set forth the legal responsibilities, procedures, rights and duties of each party to the standard contract.

39
Q

what is included in a project notebook

A

Project management
shop drawings
submittals
punch list
Budget
meeting minutes

40
Q

what is included in Contract Documents

A

Agreement,
Conditions of the Contract (General, Supplementary and other Conditions),
Drawings,
Specifications,
Addenda Issued prior to execution of the Contract, other documents listed in the Agreement, and Modifications Issued after execution of the Contract Unless specifically enumerated in the Agreement, the Contract Documents do not include other documents such as
the request for quotation or the Vendor’s quotation.

41
Q

bid form should contain space for

A

the amount of the base bid,
the price for alternates (if any),
unit prices (if any), and
the number of calendar or work days in which the bidder proposes to complete the work.
