Q

What four types of information should be included in every programming document?

A

Every document of this kind should list -the client’s goals and objectives - required spaces and area requirements -specific client requirements for budget, schedule, furnishings, equipment, and mechanical and electrical systems.

17
Q

According to the book Problem Seeking by william pena, what are the five steps in programming process?

A

The five steps in this process are 1. establish goals 2. collect facts 3. uncover concepts 4. determine needs 5. state the problems

18
Q

what is the anthropometrics?

A

The practice of measuring the size, proportion and range of motion of the human body.

19
Q

What is the mean radiant temperature?

A

This is a measure of the heat a person gains from or loses to his or her surroundings through radiation. It is used in assessing how comfortable a room is. The value is a weighted average of the various surface temperatures in a room (taking into account and occupants angle of exposure to these surfaces) and any sunlight present.

20
Q

What is the net area or net assignable area of a building?

A

This is the actual area needed to accommodate specific functions, without taking into account primary circulation space or support space.

21
Q

In a leased space, what is considered to be rentable area?

A

This is the area available for assignment to a tenant within the perimeter walls of the tenant space, as well as private corridors, walls and columns with in the tenant space. This area may also include a proportionate share of public corridors, rest rooms, and elevator lobbies by all tenants.

22
Q

What is the efficiency factor of a leased space?

A

This is the ratio of net area to usable area in the leased space.

23
Q

How does a programmatic concept differ from a design concept?

A

The first is a performance requirement that is related to general methods of solving a problem o satisfying a need. The second is a specific physical response that is an attempt to satisfy the first.

24
Q

What is territoriality?

A

Human behavior that attempts to lay claim to space and give a sense of self-identity

25
Q

What is programming?

A

This is the process undertaken before design during which all pertinent information about a project is collected and analyzed.

26
Q

What is ergonomics?

A

This is the study of the relationship between human physiology and the physical environment.

27
Q

What voluntary consensus-based national standards for developing high performance, sustainable buildings was established by the us green building council?

A

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (leed) was established by this organization.

28
Q

What are the four possible ratings for a leed certified project

A

From highest to lowest, the possible ratings for these projects are -platinum -gold -silver -certified

29
Q

In what three ways does the human body lose heat?

A

This can happen by convection evaporation radiation

30
Q

In proxemics, as described by Edward T Hall, what are the names of the four distances (starting with the closest)?

A

From closest to furthest, these are intimate personal social public

31
Q

In terms of the programming process, what are three limitations of behavior observation as a technique for gathering information?

A

The limitations of this information-gathering technique include - it cannot address why people are behaving the way they are - it is only valid for one period of time - it is accurate only when implemented by a skilled practitioner
