  1. 1A new mixed-use building is being developed in San Diego. The owner wants to build the largest possible building to accommodate a vast number of small stores and restaurants (Group A-2). The building will feature a protected concrete structure (including floors and roof) with a 1-hour fire-resistance rating. Assuming an area factor increase of 65% and based on the tables below, which options would be feasible if the building is sprinklered and the occupancies were not separated? Select all that apply.Bild zu Frage 1
    1. AMax. floors: 5, Max. height: 85 ft, Max. area per floor: 78,475 sf
    2. BMax. floors: 4, Max. height: 85 ft, Max. area per floor: 56,575 sf
    3. CMax. floors: 9, Max. height: 170 ft, Max. area per floor: 135,050 sf
    4. DMax. floors: 5, Max. height: 130 ft, Max. area per floor: 135,050 sf
  2. 2Which of the following options orders correctly these service lines in terms of their priority, when planning for a large building?
    1. A1) horizontal waste lines, 2) vertical waste lines, 3) sprinkler heads, 4) air duct work.
    2. B1) sprinkler heads, 2) air duct work, 3) horizontal waste lines, 4) vertical waste lines.
    3. C1) air duct work, 2) sprinkler heads, 3) vertical waste lines, 4) horizontal waste lines.
    4. D1) horizontal waste lines, 2) sprinkler heads, 3) air duct work, 4) vertical waste lines.
  3. 3An architect is designing a new residential complex, formed by 4 isolated mid-rise buildings in a large 5-acre park that is always open to the public. Given the size of the property, the architect is placing extra care in the design of the pedestrian pathways around the buildings so that security, especially during the long winter nights, is not overlooked. If the client is also concerned about the upfront costs, what would be the most appropriate light source for the main poles ?
    1. AHigh pressure sodium
    2. BFluorescent
    3. CMetal halide
    4. DLED
  4. 4In a temperate climate and regarding the effects of wind on the microclimate, what would be the best location for a small residence on a south facing slope?
    1. ABottom of the hill
    2. BMiddle of the hill, towards the bottom
    3. CMiddle of the hill, towards the top
    4. DTop of the hill
  5. 5The concert hall depicted below has an occupant load factor of 7 net. An architect is trying to figure out the parking area requirements during the preliminary design. If the recommended parking ratio is 0.35 parking spaces per occupant, what would most likely be the total parking area?Bild zu Frage 5
    1. A40,600 sf
    2. B46,200 sf
    3. C46,400 sf
    4. D69,000 sf
  6. 6In the context of large buildings, which of the following sentences is incorrect?
    1. AConstant air volume systems are suited in situations where you want to minimize floor-to-floor height and initial costs.
    2. BVariable air volume systems are appropriate in situations where you want to minimize operating and initial costs.
    3. CHydronic convectors are not suitable in situations where you want to maximize flexibility of space reconfiguration and speed of construction.
    4. DConstant air volume systems are not recommended in situations where you want to minimize system maintenance and operating costs.
  7. 7In a city in the United States, with a 40° north latitude, the sun rose at an azimuth of 110° east of south and it is currently at an altitude of 38°. In which month are we and what time is it?
    1. AMarch, 3 pm
    2. BMay, 9 am
    3. CJune, 7pm
    4. DJune, 11 am
  8. 8An architect is designing a 1,600-sf, one-story house in Montana, on the border with Canada. The site is 300 ft by 300 ft, has a relatively constant elevation on the north and the southern half of the site has a downwards slope of 5% towards the north. There is currently a line of tall evergreens in the middle of the site, oriented East-West, that the owner of the site would like to keep (he inherited the site from his parents and there is still an old tree house where he spent his childhood). Previous studies have found that the radon levels in the site can be as high as 0.8 pCi/L. Lastly, earth movement should be minimized. Out of the following strategies, which two would make the most sense?
    1. AHouse should have a rectangular footprint (East-West orientation) and should be located on the northern edge of the site. Employ above grade sheltering.
    2. BHouse should have a square footprint and should be located on the southern half of the site.
    3. CHouse should have a square footprint and should be located on the northern half of the site.
    4. DHouse should have a square footprint and should be located on the northern edge of the site. Employ a slight below grade sheltering.
    5. EHouse should have a rectangular footprint (East-West orientation) and should be located on the south half of the site.
    6. FHouse should have a rectangular footprint (East-West orientation) and should be located on the southern half of the site. Earth sheltering is advised.
  9. 9Frederica is working on a residential project and has just been debriefed on some of the client’s requirements. The client wishes to build a main house near the road and a guest house, up the hill, in the middle of the woods. Rebecca, the client, has very specific guidelines for how the guest house should look and feel: exposed adobe walls and glulam columns and beams that allow for a reasonable span. The floor and roof should be made of wood planks. What is the guest house’s most likely construction type?
    1. ATYPE III-A
    2. BType III-B
    3. CTYPE IV
    4. DTYPE V-A
  10. 10Which of the following statements is incorrect?
    1. ACopper has a very high embodied energy.
    2. BGlass has a moderate embodied energy.
    3. CLightweight concrete has a low embodied energy.
    4. DCement has a high embodied energy.
