You are designing a small project that measures 20′ (6096 mm) x 16′ (4877 mm). The total FF&E budget is $18,000. You have spent $15,000 for furniture and equipment and $1900.00 for painting and wall coverings (installed). How much per yard can you spend on carpet that is 12′ (3658 mm) wide? $15.45 $12.75 $30.90 $25.50
$25.50 Subtract the amount spent from the total budget to get the budget remaining$18,000 - $16,900 = $1,100. Calculate linear feet of carpet needed to cover 20 x 16 space16 + 16 = 32 linear feet (2 strips of 12′ wide carpet 16′ long). Multiply linear feet by 12 to get total square feet needed then divide by 9 (9 square feet per square yard)32 linear feet x 12 (12′ wide carpet roll goods) = 384 sq feet divided by 9 = 42.6 sq ydsRound up to 43 square yards — carpet sold per square yard price Divide budget available by sq yds.$1100 divided by 43 square yards = 25.58You can spend up to $25.58 per square yard, so $25.50 is the best answer.

The main differences between the COF/Coefficient of Friction and the DCOF/Dynamic Coefficient of Friction is: -The COF is difficult to measure in real life conditions. - The COF is measured while in motion and the DCOF while static. - The COF is measured while static and the DCOF while in motion. -The COF value is always lower than the DCOF.
The COF is measured while static and the DCOF while in motion. COF (coefficient of friction) is measured while static and the DCOF while in motion.The higher the COF, the less slippery the surface. There are two basic measures of friction: 1. the static coefficient of friction, which is measured from a resting position 2. the dynamic coefficient is measured when the two surfaces are in relative motion The measurement for the dynamic COF is always lower than the static COF for the same two surfaces. It is difficult to measure the dynamic COF; the measurement must be done in a laboratory for accurate results. Most tests, in the laboratory and in the field, measure the static coefficient of friction.

Which of the following is the BEST approach to designing an accessible lavatory? - Wall mount at 34" AFF with insulated wrapped pipes - Mount in a vanity base cabinet, with top of counter no higher than 34" AFF - None of these - Mount in a counter at 34" AFF with insulated wrapped pipes and clear floor space of 30x40
Wall mount at 34" AFF with insulated wrapped pipes Mounting the lavatory in a base cabinet is incorrect because it does not allow clear space under the lavatory for a person in a wheelchair. Mounting in a counter with a 30 x 40 clear space is incorrect because the required clear floor space at a lavatory shall be 30 inches (760 mm) minimum by 48 inches (1220 mm) minimum. Lavatories must allow someone in a wheelchair to move under the sink and easily use the basin and water controls. Wall-hung lavatories are usually best to use when accessibility is a concern. If pipes are exposed below the lavatory, they must be insulated and otherwise protected, and there must not be any sharp or abrasive surfaces under lavatories or sinks.
_______ do not require ballasts
Xenon luminaires

The state of the economy is often reflected in architecture and interior design. Prosperous times may promote a more lavish design style (at least within the limits of one's budget). Uncertain or less prosperous conditions may promote minimalist design. The "cocooning" movement was partially a result of uncertain economic times. The rising cost of energy is one factor in the trend of sustainable and energy-conserving design.
economic conditions
What is the focus of CAL 133 (TB 133) in the specification of furniture? Entire assembly Fabric Cushions Finish
entire assembly The full‐scale test is a pass/fail test of a whole piece of furniture rather than of an individual finish or material. It was first developed by the state of California and titled California Technical Bulletin 133, also referred to as either CAL 133 or TB 133. Since then, other standards organizations have developed similar tests. Tests that are considered full‐scale furniture tests are: ASTM E1537, Standard Test Method for Fire Testing of Upholstered Furniture CAL 133, Flammability Test Procedure for Seating Furniture for Use in Public Occupancies The CAL 133 test is essentially the same as ASTM E1537, but it uses a different‐size test room and has a few stricter requirements. The California test was originally developed for furniture used in public buildings in any area or room that contains 10 or more pieces of seating. This applies to prisons, health care facilities, nursing homes, day care facilities, stadiums, auditoriums, and public assembly areas in hotels and motels. Newer editions of the LSC and IFC require upholstered furniture that passes CAL 133 and/or ASTM E1537 in certain occupancies where sprinklers are not used. If it is not required by the local jurisdiction, CAL 133 products can still be specified to provide better protection to the occupants in certain projects.

When audible and visual (A/V) life safety alarms are used in a combination device, a general consideration that needs to be accommodated is: - the color of the device must be carefully coordinated with the design - more devices may be required due to the requirements for visible alarms - the visual devices requirements are superseded by those of audible alarms - the strobe aspect of a device must meet those of the audible requirements
more devices may be required due to the requirements for visible alarms
In the programming phase of a project, an interior designer is busy collecting information during a site visit. Which is one possible reason to verify results using another method? - observation can cause the observer to jump to conclusion about why people are doing things in a particular way - observation provides the opportunity for extemporaneous exploration of needs and ideas of the user not previously considered - observation is best used to verify information gathered in interviews or questionnaires - observation can be more effective than listening to what people have to say
observation is best used to verify information gathered in interviews or questionnaires Observation is best used to verify information gathered in preliminary interviews or questionnaires or as a way of generating new questions to determine the reasons behind the observed behavior. One of the most reliable ways to gather information is by observing what people do rather than relying on what they say they do. Interviews or questionnaires reveal what people want to tell you, which may or may not match their actual behavior. A simple analogy to better help you understand this is regarding the use of a food diary — a dieter is observed for what they actually eat vs. what they log in their food journal. A dieter may record at the end of the day that they ate 1 cookie at lunch, when they actually ate 2. Observation would reveal both cookies. In an interview, or in their food diary, they might say, "I only ate 1 cookie." The danger of relying solely upon observation is jumping to conclusions without understanding why people are doing things in a particular way. This is the reason to verify results with multiple methods together along with observation to help the designer reach the best overall conclusions.
