SDTK wrote:1. In a situation like the lighting of the reception room, is there any deduction due to the fact that all walls are maybe 6-9 inches away from the 2' offset of the 2'x2' lights)? Are we not required to appropriately light the entire room?
Max distance to wall = diagram + 12".
2. How close can an accent light be drawn to any other element?
Just keep them off the grid.
3. Can any duct be drawn directly above any light, and any return grill?
Yes.
4. What is the significance of the distance each light recedes into the ceiling (6", 9", etc)? Does the deeper accent light prevent a duct passing above?
No.
5. How far past the last flex duct branch should a rigid duct be drawn? Should there be no extension in an effort to reduce wasted rigid duct?
No need to be hyper efficient. In fact, you should make sure that rigid layout covers the entire suite for flexibility, as required by program. What you have is fine.
6. What is the appropriate (preferred) layout of diffusers? Imagine a phone keypad for example, is it better to locate 3 diffusers on buttons #2, #5, #8, or for better spread should it be #1, #5, and #9?
Whatever it takes for good distribution. All one one side is fine.
7. Should return grill or diffusers be intentionally drawn away from doors?
Ignore doors and windows.
8. Can a return grill and diffuser be within 4' of eachother, if they are in separate rooms? (I assume yes, but just want to clarify)
Of course.
9. Can a duct be drawn directly below a joist line when it runs parralel to the joist?
Of course not!
If not, how far away should it be drawn?
Common sense. Just provide some space -- it's schematic.
