AVIXA CTS-D: Structural and Mechanical
Considerations
Building code sources - 1. NFPA - national fire protection association
2. NEC - National Electric Code
3. ICC - International Code Council
4. ADA requirements
Signal Separation in Racks - Group equipment together according to their function to protects
against crosstalk among cables through EMI
Chemical Systems - Replace the room air with fire inhibiting gas, such as halon, CO2, or
halocarbon agents (that contain chlorine, fluorine, or iodine either individually or in some combination).
EMP - Energy Management Plan - Identifies Energy Reduction Points
EMM - Energy Management Manager - A role that provides leadership and management of the
system
Wiring Diagram in terms of Energy management - illustrates how power to AV components is
controlled and monitored and how the energy management system is connected to the AV system
Visual Display in terms of Energy Management - Shows users and management the continuous
power usage of the AV system
Use of Automated Devices and Power-State Changes in terms of energy management - Ensure the
AV system is energy-efficient
Method for Continuous Power Measurement - Collect power consumption data
, End-user Operation Training - leads to understanding, participation, and behavior modification
Tree ideas to the energy management standard - Data collection, automation, education and
training
How many requirements are there in the ANSI/INFOCOMM 4 :2012 Energy management standard -
7
How many design considerations are needed to achieve the ANSI/INFOCOMM 4 :2012 Energy
management standard - 21
Wet Systems - fire protection systems that use water that is always under pressur
Dry Systems - do not have water constantly present in the system and are pressurized by the fire
department in the event of a fire.
Inert Gas Systems - Designed to reduce the ambient oxygen concentration in a protected space to
between 10 -14%, a level that is breathable but will not support flaming combustion. These systems use
inert gases such as argon and nitrogen, either as mixtures or alone.
What to do when firestop is in your path. - Scrape off as little firestop as necessary, and make sure
you replace it immediately.
HVAC system basic functionality - 1. Extract heat to and from the environment.
2. Extract heat to and from the conditioned spaces.
3. Move air throughout the conditioned spaces.
HVAC Background noise sources - Fans
Diffusers
