Architect's office is severely under lit.
Incorrect light spacing in the conference room.
Lights are not centered in the studio.

Fire damper for the return is pointing in the wrong direction.

Dampers are not directional.

Yes, of course dampers are not directional. Excuse my wording, I meant to say that "the short leg of the fire damper symbol must be in the direction of the flow of air"


I didn't come up with this. It is Dr. Michael Ermann's suggestion (Amber)

AGAIN, dampers are NOT directional. People like to make up things to worry about.

Can you explain more about the light spacing in the Conf Room? They are spaced 4' apart between long sides of the fixture with approx. a 3' buffer around the edge of the room. I was under the impression this was OK. Thanks!

4' between the long sides is incorrect. Use both lighting charts for 2x4 lights.

Thank you for the help. I was mixing up the long and short end spacing of the 2x4 light fixtures. I've adjusted the lighting in the Architects Office, Conference Room, and Drafting Studio. Is it more important to have the grid or lighting layout centered? The grid now has a sliver of ceiling tile at the north end of both the Conference and Drafting Studio.

Thanks!

It's an ME vignette, not a pretty ceiling tile vignette. The grid now has a sliver of ceiling tile at the north end of both the Conference and Drafting Studio. Does not matter. Would you sacrifice proper lighting to save a few $$$ on ceiling tile?

Thanks!

Architect's office is over lit.
