NEW QUESTION # 53
In coordination of construction documents, heating duct clearances and tolerances in suspended ceiling plenum spaces should be cross-checked with the mechanical engineer and which one of the following?

A. Structural engineer
B. Electrical contractor
C. HVAC contractor
D. Ceiling manufacturer

Answer: D

Explanation:
When coordinating construction documents, heating duct clearances and tolerances in suspended ceiling plenum spaces must be verified with:
The mechanical engineer (for duct sizing and layout)
The ceiling manufacturer (to confirm the clearance requirements, installation tolerances, and compatibility with the ceiling system) The ceiling manufacturer provides critical information on allowable spacing, panel sizes, suspension system limits, and any required clearances around ducts or pipes that run above the ceiling.
Other parties:
HVAC contractor executes installation but follows design and ceiling guidelines Electrical contractor coordinates separate systems Structural engineer focuses on load and framing, not ceiling duct clearance Reference:

NEW QUESTION # 54
In which of the following locations should wood building products be pressure treated when used in a climate that promotes decay? Check the four that apply.

A. Wood members in contact with masonry or concrete
B. Wood window casing less than 24 inches above grade
C. Wood siding closer than 6 inches to exterior finish grade
D. Wood doors in contact with thresholds
E. Wood members at grade, below grade, or less than 8 inches above grade
F. Wood members used in conjunction with roofing or flashing

Answer: A,B,C,E

Explanation:
The IBC and AWPA (American Wood Protection Association) standards require pressure treatment of wood in decay-prone climates when in contact with moisture-retaining materials (masonry/concrete), near grade, or within splash zones.
A: Moisture can wick from masonry/concrete into wood # decay risk.
B: Close proximity to soil promotes decay/insect activity.
D: Siding <6" above grade risks splashback and prolonged wetting.
E: Window casings <24" above grade are exposed to rain splash.
C: Roofing/flashing interface doesn't require PT unless actual contact with wet substrate is expected.
F: Doors with thresholds don't require PT unless the door bottom is wood in constant wetting.
PDD Reference: IBC §2304.11; ARE 5.0 PDD "Materials-Wood decay & termite resistance."

NEW QUESTION # 55
Owners of a busy two-story theater complex want to renovate. The new renovations include increasing the second floor lobby and doubling the number of second floor movie screens. The owner favors the use of escalators. Movies are scheduled to start simultaneously every three hours. The theater currently has a pair of
24-inch-wide parallel escalators, one of which goes up and the other down.
Which of the following should be proposed to accommodate the increased traffic to the second floor?

A. Extend balustrades at escalator landings
B. Install a new elevator in the lobby
C. Increase the existing escalator speeds to 130 fpm
D. Install a new escalator that reverses direction

Answer: D

Explanation:
Given:
The theater doubles its second-floor movie screens, increasing patron traffic.
Existing escalators are two 24-inch wide units, one up and one down, with simultaneous movie start times every 3 hours.
To handle increased traffic:
Increasing existing escalator speed to 130 fpm (option A) is limited by safety and code limits (typically max around 100 fpm); also increases wear.
Installing a new elevator (option B) is helpful for accessibility but does not efficiently handle high flow of large crowds during peak.
Installing a new escalator that reverses direction (option C) (also called a "dance" or "two-way" escalator) allows flexibility to accommodate peak traffic flow-e.g., two escalators up during rush times and one down, or vice versa.
Extending balustrades (option D) improves safety but does not increase capacity.
Therefore, option C is the best solution to manage increased passenger flow.

NEW QUESTION # 56
A family-owned apple farm in the Upper Midwest is taking advantage of a change in the local zoning code that added a new Agri-Tourism class in the existing farm zone. This allows the Owner to build a new facility on their existing site. The building will be open to the public and include a brewery, distillery, tap room, and market. The architect is ready to submit the drawings to the Owner for the 50% construction documents review.
To accommodate a compressed construction schedule, the Owner will be utilizing a design-build process. The Contractor has submitted the Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) shop drawings to the Architect for review, due to the lead time on this critical path item. Once construction begins, farming operations must be able to continue uninterrupted.
Key project information includes:
* Brewing and distilling will operate year-round.
* Brewery will initially include four fermenting tanks. Owner has requested space for at least two additional tanks. Potential expansion will be based on future sales.
* Distillery will produce 16% alcohol, which is classified as a flammable liquid. Fire separations are required.
* Tap Room is designed with seating for 300 people, not including exterior patio seating. It will have views to the working orchards and the historic buildings on site.
* Tap Room is scheduled to be open from August through November. Owner would like options to extend operating dates based on popularity.
* The Market area will feature local farm products and is not conditioned.
* Entire building will be fully sprinklered.
* Selected building materials are low-maintenance, as requested by the Owner, for durability and to reflect the nature of a working farm.
* Mechanical and electrical systems will be hung from the building structure. These loads are included in PEMB shop drawings.
* Public water and sewer is not available at the Project Site.
* Occupancy sensors are included to reduce utility costs and achieve energy conservation requirements.
The following resources are available for your reference:
* Architectural Drawings, including plans, elevations, sections, and schedules
* Consultant Drawings, including structural, HVAC, power distribution, and plumbing
* PEMB Shop Drawings
* Design and Construction Schedule
* Specification Excerpts, showing relevant spec sections
* IBC and ADA Excerpts, showing relevant code and accessibility sections
* After reviewing the documents, the architect discovers a coordination issue in the corridor.

The owner is concerned about elevated noise levels in the Tap Room when fully occupied. The current design utilizes a 2 x 2 acoustic ceiling tile system installed above the fans. An acoustical engineer recommends noise mitigation through limiting reverberation time (RT) to 2.0 seconds or less in the space. This can be achieved by the provided ceiling material options and their corresponding area.
What should the architect recommend that will minimize additional project costs while providing the recommended acoustical solution?

A. Revise design using only one ceiling cloud and cementitious wood fiber panel system (2" in thickness).
B. Retain current ceiling cloud layout and a 2 x 2 acoustic ceiling tile system but remove the fans.
C. Retain current ceiling cloud layout and a 2 x 2 acoustic ceiling tile system and add acoustical sound board above.
D. Revise design using only one ceiling cloud and cementitious wood fiber panel system (1" in thickness).

Answer: C

Explanation:
1. Problem Summary
* Goal: Reduce reverberation time (RT) in the Tap Room to 2.0 seconds or less.
* Current design: 2' x 2' acoustic ceiling tile system (RT = 2.0 seconds) installed above fans.
* Constraint: Minimize additional project cost.
* Recommendation from acoustical engineer: Use materials to achieve target RT without redesigning the space.
2. Review of Table Data

3. Interpretation of RT Values
* Current 2x2 Acoustic Ceiling Tile: RT = 2.0 seconds # meets the target exactly.
* However, fans may reduce the acoustic performance by reflecting or scattering sound, so supplemental absorption may be needed.
* Adding Acoustical Sound Board (RT = 1.6) above the existing tile system will improve absorption and lower RT below 2.0 seconds.
4. Cost & Constructability
* Retaining the current ceiling layout and simply adding a layer above is:
* Least disruptive to current design.
* Avoids redesign of the ceiling cloud layout.
* Minimizes schedule impact (critical for design-build with compressed schedule).
* Replacing with wood fiber panels (1" or 2") would require removal of existing tile, redesign of suspension, and higher cost/SF.
5. Why Other Options Are Incorrect
* A. Remove fans: This addresses air movement, not RT. Removing them does not guarantee RT improvement and conflicts with HVAC design intent.
* B. One cloud + 1" wood fiber panels: Reduces coverage area and may not meet RT goal; also costly and disruptive.
* C. One cloud + 2" wood fiber panels: Even more costly, same redesign problem as B.
* D. Retain tiles and add sound board above: Achieves RT < 2.0, minimal disruption, cost-effective vs.
full replacement # best option.

NEW QUESTION # 57
An architect is designing a new poured-in-place concrete residential tower with individual condo units. The drawings specify exposed cantilevered concrete balconies with glass guardrail parapets. The exterior wall specifications have already been developed and established. They are now coordinating the specification requirements for construction of the balconies in the project manual.
Which items are required to be specified as part of the balcony scope? (Check the four that apply)

A. Glazing system
B. Guardrail anchoring
C. Floor finish coating
D. Door types
E. Drainage
F. Furnishings

Answer: A,B,C,E

Explanation:
In NCARB ARE 5.0 PDD, balconies are considered part of the building envelope and exterior assembly, requiring coordination between structural, architectural, and sometimes MEP elements. The project manual's specification sections for balconies should include all components integral to the balcony's construction and performance - not unrelated furnishings or general door types unless they are directly part of the balcony system.
Reasoning for each selection:
A). Drainage - REQUIRED:
Balconies must include drainage provisions to prevent standing water, freeze-thaw damage, and leakage into units. This is part of Division 07 (Thermal and Moisture Protection) in the CSI MasterFormat and directly tied to durability and code requirements.
B). Floor finish coating - REQUIRED:
The balcony surface finish must be specified for slip resistance, durability, weather resistance, and integration with waterproofing membranes. This is usually in Division 09 (Finishes) but referenced in Division 07 for waterproof coatings.
E). Guardrail anchoring - REQUIRED:
Structural anchorage details for the glass guardrail parapets must be specified to meet IBC load requirements (200 lb concentrated load per IBC 1607.8) and to ensure safety. This falls under Division 05 (Metals) or Division 05/08 integration.
F). Glazing system - REQUIRED:
Glass guardrails involve tempered or laminated safety glazing per IBC Chapter 24 and must be specified, including thickness, type, finish, and installation method.
Why the others are excluded:
C). Furnishings - NOT REQUIRED: Balconies may have furniture, but these are FF&E, not part of the construction scope in the balcony specification.
D). Door types - NOT REQUIRED: Doors leading to balconies are part of the exterior wall fenestration package, not the balcony construction section.
