BTU stands for?
British Thermal Unit
In SI units, btu is measured by?
joules
one of the most valuable ways of collecting information
client interviews
the body loses heat in 3 ways
convection, evaporation, radiation
the temperature of the surrounding surfaces is an important factor because the body can gain or lose heat through this
radiation
transfer of heat through the movement of a fluid, either gas or liquid
convection
Priority
Establishes the order of importance of things such as size, position, or social
observation is also useful to
determine how people use a space
accessibility
relates to the idea of entry to a building or space and to making the facility accessible to the disabled. It answers the question of how people can find the entrance and whether or not there should be multiple entrances.
character
response to the desired image the client wants to project. This may later be expressed in design concepts using materials, lighting, space layout, and other physical responses to project character
tends to increase evaporation and heat loss through convection
air movement
different ways to collect information for client interviews
observation, structured process, clarify ambiguous questions or responses, exploring needs and ideas not considered
mixed flow
a response to the goal of promoting interaction among people. May not be a desired programmatic concept in controlled facilities
relationships
include the affinities of people and activities. This is one of the most common programming concepts established in any design problem because it most directly affects the organization of spaces and rooms.
sequential flow
often required for both people and objects where a specific series or events or processes is required.
people grouping
states the degree of massing of people in a space and is derived from they physical, social and emotional characteristics of the group.
heat loss through this occurs when moisture changes to vapor as a person perspires or breathes
evaporation
written forms that people fill in with requested information
questionnaires
the study of the relation between human physiology and the physical environment
ergonomics
4 categories of information gathering
goals and objectives, user requirements, activity requirements, furnishings and equipment, adjacencies, space requirements, time and money requirements,
this is required to provide oxygen and remove carbon dioxide, to remove odors, and to carry away contaminants
ventilation
measurement of the size, proportions, and range of motion of the human body
anthropometrics
ergonomics uses the information developed by
anthropometrics
measures the human body at rest
static anthropometrics
the percentage of moisture in the air compared with the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at a a given temp
humidty
one of the most reliable ways to gather information is?
observation
Hierarchy
relates to the idea of the exercise of authority and is expressed in physical symbols of authority
separated flow
relates to segregating the flow of people, service access and other activities of a building or space.
the amount of heat energy required to raise one pound of water by one degree fahrenheit
btu
orientation
refers to providing a point of reference within a space or building to help keep people from feeling lost within a larger context.
the amount of ventilation required in a room depends on what taking place in the room?
activity, size of room, people in the room smoke
transfer of heat through direct contact between two objects of different temperatures
conduction
density
low, medium, or high - may relate to how a space or group of spaces are used to respond to goals such as efficient use of space or the desired amount of interaction in an office
danger of observation is
jumping to conclusion
measures the body while performing activities
dynamic anthropometrics
convection occurs when the air temperature surrounding a person is
less than the bodys skin temperature
neighbors
concept that refers to how the project will promote or prevent sociability and how it will relate to its neighboring spaces.
combines the effects of air temperature, humidity, and air movement
effective temperature
involves the correctness of fit between objects and spaces and the needs of the people using those objects and spaces
human factors
home base
related to the concept of territoriality and is a place where a person can maintain his or her individuality
primary determination of comfort
temperature
transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves from a colder surface
radiation
a weighted average of the various surface temperatures in the room
mean radiant temperature
this is based on the quality of primary environment factors: temperature, humidity, air movement, air quality, sound, vibration and light
human comfort
Service groupings
include mechanical services, distribution of supplies, storage space, information, and vending areas
acting over a period of one hour, the SI unit corresponding to btu/hr is?
watts
observation is best used to
verify information gathered by interviews or questionnaires
flexibility
includes three components: expandability, convertibility, versatility
activity gorupiong
sates whether activities should be integrated or separated and compartmentalized
communications
a response to the goal of promoting the effective exchange of information or ideas. This concept states who communicates with whom and how they do it.
