Programming for climate

An office building with archive box storage is being designed for Brockton, MA. A low use area such as storage would be best located facing which orientation?

A. North, B. East, C. South, D. West


A. North is correct.
Locating low-use program facing north in colder climates and higher-use areas facing south allows hi-use, active spaces to benefit from south facing glazing to maximize daylighting and solar heat gain in winter.

Calculate Luminance

A typical 60-watt standard frosted incandescent bulb outputs 890 lumens for an efficacy ratio of about 15 lumens per watt. As an A19, its shape is spherical. What is the its calculated luminance? A. 25,115 cd/in² B. 25.115 cd/ft² C. 25,115 cd/m² D. Indeterminate, missing variable. Answer If 1 candela (cd) = 4 ∏ lumens (lm), 890 x 1cd/4∏ = 71 cd, A19 = 19/8 = 2.375 in or 60mm diameter (= 30mm radius), L = intensity / projected area, 71 cd / ∏ r² = 71/ 3.14 x (.03m)² = 25,115 cd/m² ARE 4.0 exam prep: BS
