1 of the most important aspects of designing a computer work station is what? - Answer -keyboard
height should be from 26-28.5" high and adjustable
*reducing glare also important but usually accommodated in design of lighting or layout & orientation of
workstation
2 interviewers always present: why? - Answer -1. one person to ask questions and the other to
observe and take notes
2. provide a 2nd opinion
TWO methods used to measure speech privacy in open offices - Answer -1. articulation class: how
effective a CEILING is in absorbing sound reaching it from over LOW PARTITIONS (uses 9' high ceiling and
60" high partitions)
2. articulation index: measures the performance of ALL the elements of a particular CONFIGURATION
working TOGETHER, including ceiling absorption, space dividers, furniture, light fixtures, partitions,
background masking systems, and HVAC sound
--all predicts the intelligibility of speech for a group of talkers and listeners
--rating between 0 and 1 (1 = no privacy)
--confidential speech = below .05
--normal speech: between .05 and .2
--UNACCEPTABLE level of privacy = .30 and ABOVE
2 ways to improve upholstery safety - Answer -1. treat with chemicals
2. use liner to provide barrier that slows or inhibits the spread of heat and flame from the fabric to the
cushion
3 basic types of adjacency needs - Answer -1. people
2. products (movement of objects facilitated)
3. information
3 performance criteria for foam cushions - Answer -1. density
2. indentation load deflection (ILD): firmness
,3. support ratio (ratio of force required to compress foam)
3 primary colors of LIGHT - Answer -red, green, and blue
3 primary colors of PIGMENT - Answer -yellow, red, and blue
**pigments used in printing = yellow, magenta and cyan
4 major considerations during programming - Answer -1. form (relates to existing conditions of the
space, the physical & psychological environment of the interior, and the quality of construction)
2. function (relates to people using the space, the activities to be performed there, and the relationship
of spaces to eachother)
3. economy (concerns money)
4. time (describes ideas of the past, present, and future as they affect the three other areas)
5 important factors to achieve speech privacy in an open-plan office - Answer -1. ceiling must be
highly absorptive ("clear sky" condition = sounds not reflected)
2. area must include space dividers that reduce the transmission of sound
3. other surfaces, such as the floor, furniture, windows, and light fixtures, must be designed or arranged
to minimize sound reflections
4. if possible, activities should be distanced to take advantage of the normal attenuation of sound with
distance
5. area should have a properly designed background masking system
5 prong base - Answer -for extra stability & balance
5 step programming process - Answer -1. establishing goals (what does the client want?)
2. collecting & analyzing facts (describe existing conditions and requirements of the problem; i.e. space
adjacency, equipment needed, expected growth rate, etc.)
3. uncovering & testing concepts (ABSTRACT ideas that are functional solutions to the client's
performance problems, without defining the physical means that could be used to solve them)
,4. Determine needs (balance desires of the client against the available budget or establishes a budget
based on defined goals & needs)
5. Stating the problem (the bridge between programming and the design process)
access control devices: card readers - Answer -plastic card containing a coded magnetic strip used
to unlock the door when a valid card is passed through the card reader
access control devices: interlocking dead bolts - Answer -secure the door bolt to the strike so that
the door jamb cannot be spread to disengage the bolt from the frame
access control devices: numbered keyboards - Answer -unlock a door when a user enters the
correct numerical code
access control devices: punched card access system - Answer -key code changed each time a new
person checks into a hotel room, etc.
Acetate - Answer -low in cost, but *FLAMMABLE* and doesn't wear well
--poor sunlight resistance (shiny)
*triacetate: improved aging, flammability and resistance to sunlight
Acrylic - Answer -used as a replacement for wool because of appearance
--okay strength and resilience, VERY resistant to sunlight
**FLAMMABLE
Additive colors - Answer -colors created with light
--when all colors of light are present in equal amounts, we perceive white light
Advantages of Gypsum Drywall - Answer -low install cost, quick & easy installation, fire resistance,
sound control capability, easy availability, versatility, ease of finishing & decorating, ease of installation of
doors/other openings
air system to heat/cool building - Answer -cool/heat spaces by conditioned air alone
-heat is transported to space with supply and return air ducts
-i.e. residential forced hot air furnace: boiler powered by oil or gas heats the air that is distributed
through the house
air temperature - Answer -**primary determinant of comfort
all water heating system - Answer -use some type of coil unit called a convector (a unit or device
that radiates heat from water to the surrounding air, usually through closed spaced fins placed against a
wall under a window) in each space through which hot water is circulated
-hot water heats the fins of the coil unit and the air is heated as it is drawn over the fins
, -for heating & a separate duct system for ventilation and cooling
architectural woodwork - Answer -CUSTOM, SHOP-fabricated millwork built of lumber, finished
wood & other materials
Architectural woodwork (millwork) grades - Answer -premium: gives highest quality in materials,
workmanship and installation
custom: most common grade and still produces high quality job
economy: defines minimum level of quality, materials and workmanship
area or room protection: audio detectors - Answer -listen to unusual sounds in a space at levels
above what is normally encountered
area or room protection: infrared detectors - Answer -sense sources of infrared radiation, such as
the human body, compared with the normal room radiation
area or room protection: microwave detectors - Answer -emit a field of microwave radiation and
sense interruption in that field
area or room protection: photoelectric beam - Answer -warn of intrusion by sending a pulsed
infrared beam across a room; if beam is broken, device sounds an alarm or sends a signal to a monitoring
system
area or room protection: pressure sensors - Answer -detect weight on a floor or on another
surface (sensor mats used)
area or room protection: ultrasonic detectors - Answer -emit a very high frequency sound wave
asymmetrical balance - Answer -depends on equalizing the visual or optical weights of NONsimilar
elements in a composition within a visual field or about a common axis
--considered informal & dynamic
--composed and arranged by the "eye"
Attached to cushion: buttoning - Answer -secures fabric to cushion with a lightly tensioned button
and thread
attached to cushion: channeling - Answer -secure fabric to cushion in PARALLEL ROWS
attached to cushion: tufting - Answer -button is pulled lightly against a cushion resulting in a
DEEPLY FOLDED surface
avora fr - Answer -POLYESTER yarn that uses modified polymer so it is PERMANENTLY flame
resistant regardless of wear and number of washings
