Ballast Practice Exam #484
An architect is consulting with an electrical engineer for a reflected ceiling plan. Which information must be given to the electrical engineer?
A. grille and register location
B. sprinkler head lcoation
c. luminary location
d. lighting and power outlet circuiting
Ballast's answer is 'd', with the following explanation:
The exact circuiting of lighting and power outlets does not have to be shown on the architect's reflected ceiling plan. Rather, electrical drawings must contain this information. In some cases, such as an office tenant improvement project, the architect shows the location of switches on the reflected ceiling plan if the electrical construction work will be subcontracted out as design-build work and no electrical engineer is consulting on the project.
I chose c. Why would the architect give the electrical engineer 'lighting and power outlet circuiting'?
