Q

What types is diagram is this?

***

A

Candlepower distribution diagram

17
Q

How is Tungsten-halogen lamp different from a standard incandescent lamp?

A

The former includes a small amount of aa halogen with the inert gas and is made from a bulb of quartz. It last longer than the latter, produces a whiter light, and produces a more uniform light over time.

18
Q

How does a high-intensity discharge lamp work?

A

This types of lamp works by passing an electric current through a gas or vapor under high pressure.

19
Q

How is the color temperament of a light source determined?

A

The value is based in the temperature is degree Kelvin, to which a black -body radiator would have to be heated to produce The same hue as a particular light source.

20
Q

What is a lumen (abbreviated lm)?

A

This unit is the amount of luminous flux produced by a point source of one candlepower (candela) in a solid angle of one steradian.

On a sphere with a radius of one unit, an area of one square unit will subtend an angle of one steradian.

21
Q

What is marble?

A

This is a metamorphic rock that is converted by heat and pressure from limestone into calcite and / or dolomite.

22
Q

Why would a designer want to use a Wilton carpet?

A

This carpet type would be used to produce a complex pattern with different surface textures.

23
Q

In terms of paint, what is the vehicle and how does it work?

A

This is the liquid portion of paint, composed of a nonvolatile binder and a volatile part called the solvent. The binder combines with the body to form the final film, while the solvent dissolves the binder to allow for application and later either evaporated or dries.

24
Q

What two paint types are often used to achieve a very durable surface?

A

Epoxy and urethane paints are often used to achieve this kind of surface.

25
Q

What is illuminance?

A

This is the density of luminous flux incident on a surface in lumens per unit area.

In US units, 1 lm uniformly incident on 1 ft2 produces an illuminance of 1 footcandle (Fc)

In SI units, 1 Lumen uniformly incident on 1 m2 produces an illuminance 1 lux (lx)

26
Q

What is luminous efficacy?

A

This is the ratio of the luminous flux emitted by a light source to the power used by the light source.

27
Q

How does a fluorescent lamp produce light?

A

What is a light-emitting diode (LED)?

28
Q

What is a color rendition index?

A

This is a numerical measure of how well a light source renders the color of an object when compared to the same object lit by a reference source of the same color temperature.

29
Q

What is the coefficient of utilization (CU)?

A

This value is a measure of how efficiently a luminaire distributes light under various degree of finish reflectivity.

30
Q

What is bookmatching?

A

This is the most exacting method of matching veneer panels in a room, such that grain continuously is maintained across doors, cabinets, and other obstructions.

31
Q

What is composite wood veneer?

A

This sustainable product manufactured by laminating veneers from commonly available trees onto an artificial log, which is then sliced to produce the final veneers.

32
Q

What is detailing in interior design?

A

This is the process of determining a design’s technical requirements will fit together and exactly how they will look.

33
Q

What is a project manual?

A

This is a bound book that contains

  • Technical construction specifications
  • contract forms
  • general and supplementary conditions of the contract
  • bidding requirements (if used)
  • supplemental bid firms (if used)
34
Q

What system was created to standardize the organization and writing of specifications, and what group developed it?

A
