went for speed this time. noticed my return damper's facing wrong direction. also probably should have spaced diffusers/grilles further apart in conference..had a last minute issue in this area and didn't second check :( are these considered big errors?

anything else?

The rigid duct layout does not provide flexibility in relocating diffusers per the program. With a max 10' flex, there are large areas that cannot be reached.
No air movement on the west side of the architect's office.
Poor separation between supply & return in the conference room and studio. MIn 4' separation is recommended.
Uneven HVAC layout in the studio and conference room. Think symmetry.
Accent lights are a little too close to the wall. Sketch circles should intersect each other at the face of the wall being lit.

Thank you. So would it have been better to have 2 rows of rigid duct for more balanced air distribution? I’ve been under impression less rigid duct is better. But let me know your thoughts.

Basic efficiency is good but an explicit part of the program is flexibility.
