Contract Documents Flashcards
When completing simple cabinet detail drawings, which scale would be the best to use for these drawings?
1 1/2” = 1’0”
What is rift slicing?
Rift Slicing is commonly used to gain this type of appearance from oak. It produces a straight grain and eliminates the appearance of markings perpendicular to the grain caused by medullary rays.
Which is the most common method of veneer matching?
Book Matching
When reviewing a detail of a gypsum wallboard niche to receive a built-in millwork cabinet, the interior designer should be most concerned with:
Tolerance
A home run noted on the contract documents is:
A graphic indication showing which lights and outlets are connects to a particular circuit breaker in an electrical panel box
What is an incandescent light?
generate light when an electric current heats the tungsten filament inside
Incandescents have poor efficacy
They have a high CRI for rendering natural color and skin tones appropriate for residential uses.
What is a halogen light?
Bright but hot, cheaper upfront but costs more to operate, shorter lamp life, can be dimmed.
What is a flourescent Light?
Energy-efficient, minimal heat, typically brighter than LEDs, but has harsher whiter colored light. Not dimmable without special housing and switching. Suitable for commercial spaces where the light stays on.
Low voltage lighting
Low voltage fixtures require a larger-sized transformer to “step down” the voltage from 120 to 12 volts. However, they tend to be smaller in size and have more beam control.
Low voltage lighting can include incandescents like MR16s (usually halogen or incandescent) and LEDs.
What are LEDs?
Light-emitting diodes have a long life, low energy use, lower operating costs but are currently more expensive upfront. They have low heat output and a relatively cool bluish light. Some are dimmable, but this requires a special dimmer.
What is an HID Light?
High-Intensity Discharge Lamps, are most often used for outdoor lighting or large indoor spaces, like warehouses. They generate light by passing an electric current through a gas. That current then produces an arc of light within the arc tube
There are several types of HIDs, including High-Pressure Sodium (HPS), Mercury Vapor, Metal Halide, and Ceramic Metal Halide. These differ based on gas within the bulb.
requires a ballast and can take a long time to power up. They are appropriate for scenarios that don’t require the light to come on quickly, like a stadium.
What is Xenon lighting?
Incandescent fixtures with xenon gas have warmer light and give off more heat. They are dimmable but not energy efficient and have a lamp life similar to fluorescent, but not as long as LED.
Which of the following should not be a primary consideration when choosing a light source?
(A) efficacy
(B) aesthetics
(C) operating life cost
(D) color rendition
Aesthetics
What are considerations that influence the selection of a light source?
color rendition,
initial cost,
operating cost,
efficacy,
size,
operating life and
the ability to control output from a luminaire.
What are Lumens?
Quantity of light given off (actual bulb)
Lumens are the amount of light output produced by a lamp or light source; lamp manufacturers rate their lamps in lumens and publish catalogs with this information.
The units used for the measurement and description of the brightness of a direct glare source are
candela per square meter (Foot lamberts)
Which of the following items would NOT typically be the responsibility of an Interior Designer to show on a Reflected Ceiling Plan?
(A) Exit signs and sprinkler locations
(B) Full height wall partitions extending through plenum to the concrete slab above
(C) Switching and circuiting for lighting fixtures
(D) Height of dados and ceiling finishes
Switching and circuiting for lighting fixtures
