Vingette for review please

Postby dollydavis33 » Tue Oct 09, 2012 9:26 pm

I think my solution is pretty close to the NCARB passing solution (not that that means I did it right), but I did a few things differently. I just looked over my solution and think my conference room lighting might be incorrect, I overlit, which I think is okay, but noticed that I didn't center the lights in the space. Any other comments are greatly appreciated...thanks!

2x4 spacing is incorrect.
Supply and return grilles should be separated by 4' min.
Take ducts a snap or two into risers.
Bring supply out of riser to east, move both branches west, and save about 20' of duct.
Supply closet light spacing incorrect.

I know this has probably been posted elsewhere but I feel the need to ask anyways, the lighting diagrams for the 2x2 only extends to 2ft beyond the light for the required FC, in this solution it seems that the 2x2 go are attempting to go beyond this threshold. Does anyone have an explanation of when such liberties should be taken?

Distance between fixtures should be 2x diagram distance. Max distance to wall is diagram + 12".

Supply diffuser is missing flex duct connecting it to rigid in Supply Closet. If youre pushing the 10ft limit for flex duct in the Drafting Studio, you could run it to the south branch along the bearing wall.
