  2. Utility Services • Cold water distribution • Hot water distribution (boiler) • Sanitary Sewer • Traps, stack vents, clean-outs • Electrical circuits & service type • Transformers

  3. Vertical Transportation (137) • Timing and capacity studies • Demand, car capacity, car speed, waiting time • Hydraulic vs. traction elevators • Machine rooms, counterweights, cables, pit, guide rails

  4. Lighting (141-158) • General vs. Task Lighting • Illuminance: ranges from lighting for difficult tasks (100-150 fc) to ordinary office (30-80 fc) to low ambiance (20 fc) • Daylighting & quality of light (avoid glare) • Photometric charts for light fixtures

  5. Acoustics (160-177) • Decibel scale – logarithmic • Sound range: 10 dB whisper to 120 dB jet • Absorption and transmission • Reverberation and resonance • Transmission loss (STC) • Doubling mass of wall = 5 dB decrease • Panel absorbers, insulation, isolation

  6. Design Process (SP 137-139) • Reason and unreason • Creativity vs. Critical Review • Alternatives Studied / Discoveries Made • Process is open and fluid • Concepts – Schematics – Design Development – Construction Docs

  7. Architecture • Commodity – Firmness – Delight • Form Follows Function • Human Scale • Expression of Structure • Order, rhythm, symmetry, proportion • Classical/Historicist Architecture • Modernist Architecture

  8. Architecture • Applied styles vs. inherent style • Decorated Shed vs. Duck • ‘Starchitecture’ / Trophy Buildings • Expression of Technology • Preservation / Adaptive Re-use
