AATCC
American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists: tests using fade-ometer to determine the color fastness under light exposure of textile material
Occupant Area
Includes Net Square Footage (or programmed areas) and circulation area (including primary and secondary circulation)
Usable Area
Includes Net Area and Circulation Area, but
excludes building core and common spaces such
as elevators, exit stairs, mechanical rooms, and core
toilets.
Rentable Area
Usable Area and building common spaces, such as
the building lobbies, egress corridors, service spaces
(mechanical/electrical, toilet, janitorial, etc), and
loading docks. Excludes major vertical penetrations,
such as stairwells, elevators, and major shaft spaces
Efficiency Factor
mathematical ratio from one area to another area.
for a single use space, it is the net area to the usable area
Scoping Provisions
requirements that dictate how many accessible elements must be provided.
Division 06
Woods and Plastics: covers typical structural wood framing, rough and finish carpentry and architectural woodwork
LLC or LLP Business Structure
They are easier to set up and operate than corporations. The liability is limited to a member’s investment, a member has no personal liability.
C Corporation
Most common corporation in the US - taxed separately from its owners and allows for the widest range of tax deductions
Sole Proprietorship
Small Business - Simplest and most common way to start a business. Unincorporated business owned and run by one individual

Max Rise for a Ramp
30”
Ramp runs shall have a running slope not steeper than
1:12
Clearance around an accessible (barrier free) toilet must be at least:
60” along the rear wall and 56” along the side wall
Retainage
a percentage of each payment that is withheld by the owner and not paid until the contractor has completed the work
Intumescent materials
respond to fire by expanding rapidly, insulating the surfaces they protect by filling the gaps to prevent the passage of fire, heat and smoke. ex: a strip along the bottom of a door
What type of slab CANNOT be penetrated for a stair opening?
Post Tensioned
Standard height wall outlets
15”
Personal Injury Protection Insurance
protects the interior designer against charges of slander, libel, defamation of character, misrepresentation and other torts or civil wrongs that cause injury to another person.
Change Order
Changes in construction that affect the time or cost; only the owner can authorize
Change Authorization
for minor changes in work that don’t effect time or cost
Minor Work Order
for minor changes in work that don’t effect time or cost
Trimmer
A wood member in a floor or roof used to support a header, used when creating openings.
Displacement Ventilation
an air distribution system in which supply air originates at the floor level and rises to return air grilles in the ceiling.
Demand Control Ventilation
a feedback control method to maintain indoor air quality that automatically adjusts the ventilation rate provided to a space in response to changes in conditions such as occupant number or indoor pollution
Resilient Channels
improve the acoustical properties of a wall by separating the wall’s structure from its surface material. They make the wall less stiff, inhibiting the transfer of vibrations through to the other side.
Scoping Provisions
requirements that dictate how many accessible elements must be provided
ISO 14020
describes a set of guiding principles for the development and use of environmental labels and declarations by any practitioner of environmental labeling. It is intended that other applicable standards in the ISO 14020 series be used in conjunction with this International Standard.
ASHRAE 62
the specific standard for ventilation for ensuring acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ).
ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1
the specific standard as the required minimums for building energy efficiency in regards to lighting power density in all Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings
ISO 14024
establishes the principles and procedures for developing Type I environmental labelling programmes that third-party certifiers, or ecolabelers, must follow.
This includes the selection of product categories, product environmental criteria and product function characteristics, and for assessing and demonstrating compliance, and certification procedures for awarding the label.
Exit Discharge
the part of egress between the exit and public way.
Net Area does NOT include
the space needed for circulation, partitions or building amenities, like restrooms.
Net Area
the space a client needs for their specific program functions like offices, break rooms or conference rooms.
Rentable Area
he portion of a tenant’s rented space plus a pro-rated portion of any shared spaces, is calculated by multiplying the gross Occupant Area by the Building Load Factor.
