We also learned how to  Understand the path of egress and  Identify the phases of a design project. Phases of a Design Project The phases of a design project recognized by both the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) contract documents are discussed in the following sections. Programming- During the programming phase, the designer will interview the client(s) and create a user needs assessment and spatial analysis of what is required for the project.

From a regulatory perspective it is important to determine the occupancy type and identify all applicable codes and statutes that apply to the pro...

  Chapter 11 Interior Building Systems  In Chapter 11, we learned how to understand sustainable energy control methods and types, incorporate appropriate security features into design projects, and apply good security design principles to projects. we also learned to differentiate between the multiple forms of vertical circulation in buildings and integrate systems furniture with a building’s structure. This chapter introduces several interior components that impact the design of a successful interior environment, including data, voice, and telecommunications systems, energy control systems, security systems, vertical circulation systems, and how furniture systems interface with the building itself. Data, Voice, and Telecommunications Telephone lines and Internet connections are a necessity of the modern interior environment. In addition, many clients also request wireless service, resulting in the need for careful placement of wireless routers to ensure equal service thr...

  Chapter 10 Indoor Environmental Quality: Acoustics and Indoor Air  In Chapter 10 we learned how to locate open offices for minimal sound transmission and be able to meet client needs for speech privacy and discuss the impacts of LEED on acoustics and indoor air quality. We also learned to Describe the importance of good indoor air quality to the health, safety, and welfare of building occupants, how to specify sustainable materials that support good indoor air quality and  identify acoustical needs in space and how to accomplish acoustic separation goals According to the Center for Disease Control, “Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) refers to the quality of a buildings environment in relation to the health and wellbeing of those who occupy the space within it.” It includes acoustics, air quality lighting, and other interior factors. This chapter addresses indoor air quality and acoustics as lighting has been addressed in a previous chapter. Although many of these ...
