Project budgets

In the total project budget of a new library, why is the FF&E a separate budget or line item from that of the structure and shell of a building? Select the best answer.
A. Funding is impossible to obtain for both at the same time.
B. The building can be used and serve its purpose without it.
C. This practice makes the building budget appear to be smaller.
D. While necessary for commercial offices, FF&E is unnecessary to this building type.


Answer C. is correct.
Funding source may differ from the base building, but FF+E is still included in the total project budget. Without FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment), a building is incomplete and cannot serve its purpose. Items such as way finding, egress signage and braille text are required by building codes, but frequently included in FF&E budgets.

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
