Back 3

appearance

Front 4

For a durable interior, name 3 uses that may require special needs.

Back 4

1. Intensity of use (like airport corridor)
2. Water resistance (kitchen/bathroom)
3. Cleanliness and maintenance needs (hospital vs office)

Front 5

Acoustical ceiling, carpeting, and lightweight partitions are examples of interior finish selections that are easily _________________.

Back 5

changeable

Front 6

What is included in life cycle cost?

Back 6

Initial cost (purchase and installation) +
maintenance +
replacement +
energy costs

Front 7

Rather than simply focusing on initial cost, a more holistic approach is "life cycle cost" which includes first, _________________, replacement and energy costs.

Back 7

maintenance

Front 8

As a general rule, interior finishes that offer high durability are more expensive than less durable alternatives.
TRUE FALSE

Back 8

TRUE

Front 9

The interior construction elements that prevent smoke and fire from traveling between spaces within a building via the HVAC ductwork are called ______________________.
Smoke chalking, fire safing, fire dampers, all ,none

Back 9

fire dampers

Front 10

Office and retail spaces tend to feature heavier, more durable finishes than typically used in specialty interiors found in civic buildings such as performing arts theaters.
TRUE FALSE

Back 10

FALSE

Front 11

Distance to make one cycle is _____________.
Loudness, height of wave, is ____________.
Number of times a wavelength occurs in one second is the _________ or ___________.

Back 11

wavelength
amplitude
frequency, pitch

Front 12

Soft, porous finsihes tend to _________ sound whereas dense, hard materials tend to ___________.

Back 12

absorb
reflect

Front 13

________________ ____________ is a measurement of white noise, which can increase the level of speech ____________.

Back 13

Noise criteria
privacy

Front 14

Name 3 ways to reduce sound transmission through floors.

Back 14

1. Cement/gypsum self-leveling floor covering (liq). Fills holes & cracks to increase soundproofing.
2. Cushion the floor to control impact noise.
3. Float the floor to control impact noise.

Front 15

Name 3 ways to reduce sound transmission through walls.

Back 15

1. Resilient mounting - dry wall attached to thin metal strip out from studs.
2. Staggered studs.
3. Double wall - small gap between studs.
4. Avoid back-to-back receptacles.
5. Install sound barrier in plenum space above partition walls.

Front 16

A standard rating of a barrier's resistance to sound transmission as a function of frequency is ____________ __________ ___________.

Back 16

sound transmission class (STC)

Front 17

Vertical runs for MEP are called ______, ______, or ________.

What services are inside them?

Why are they sealed?

Back 17

shafts, risers, chases

Wiring, ducts, plumbing

To prevent spread of fire & smoke

Front 18

For horizontal distribution of MEP services, ____________
are used to suspend piping, ducts, wiring, etc in the plenum space.

Another way to suspend cables is by ___________ _________.

Back 18

struts (unistrut, wire hangers)



cable trays

Front 19

_______________ is the number of pressure difference cycles that occur within one second.
Decibels, frequency
amplitude, wavelength

Back 19

Frequency

Front 20

The ideal combination of material types for creating quality of listening conditions are:
Absorber only
Reflector only
Absorber over reflector
REflector over absorber

Back 20

Absorber over reflector

Front 21

The measurement of white noise within a space is called "Noise __________".

Back 21

Criteria

Front 22

One solution to reducing the transmission of sound through a floor is to "float the floor", which entails specifying a soft, resilient floor finish such as plush carpeting.
TRUE FALSE

Back 22

FALSE

Front 23

When estimating a wall assembly's STC rating, how many adders would be included in the calculation if four improvements (e.g. staggering the studs)?
