NCIDQ IDFX EXAM TEST
A client has requested that special security protection be provided for critical paper files
containing corporate trade secrets, but at a reasonable cost.
In designing the file room, the interior designer should suggest: - Answer-card readers at the
doors leading to the file room
[Source: Interior Construction Detailing for Designers, Hardware, Electronic Hardware
Card readers would be the most cost-effective solution because they could provide access
control as well as notification if there was an attempt at unauthorized entry.]

doors leading to the file room

Card readers would be the most cost-effective solution because they could provide access
control as well as notification if there was an attempt at unauthorized entry.]
All buildings move to some extent, what type of joint is used accommodate large movements
and are typically part of the building design? - Answer-expansion joints
[All buildings move to some extent. Interior construction must take into account the possible
movement of the building structure. Slip joints and relief joints should be used whenever minor
building movement is expected. Large movements are accommodated by building expansion
joints, but these are usually already in place as part of the design of the building.]
An air handler access panel should measure a minimum of: - Answer-2' x 2' (600 mm x 600
mm)
[Source: Interior Construction Detailing for Designers, Ceilings
-Building codes require that access panels be provided to certain components of the mechanical
and electrical systems for anything that has to be inspected, adjusted or repaired. Access doors
are typically small steel doors with frames that are opened by using a thumb turn or a key.
-Per the NCIDQ instructions in a typical commercial reflected ceiling plan demonstrating
integration of building systems, the candidate is to place a minimum 2' x 2' (600 mm x 600 mm)
access panel for the air handling unit where required.]
Commercial-grade cabinets are most often constructed of panel products with a thickness of -
Answer-3/4 in
The majority of a cabinet is built with 3⁄4 in panels including the bottom, sides, and top bracing.
The back is typically 1⁄4 in, but this was not one of the options.
For construction drawings, what is the most effective way to communicate large amounts of
complex information in a small space? - Answer-schedules
[Schedules are a very efficient way to communicate a large amount of complex information in a
relatively small space.]
If 13 black and white photographs, all framed with different styles and colors of frames, were
grouped on a wall painted a light, cool gray, which design principle would the designer be
using? - Answer-variety
, [The question does not give any information about how the photographs are grouped and
whether they form a regular pattern.
No single framed photograph would be different enough from the rest to create a significant
contrast, and no single one dominates.]
If a designer wanted to emphasize a significant feature at both ends of a space, which plan
arrangement would best achieve this goal? - Answer-Axial
[An axial concept aligns space on a significant feature or features. The significant feature may
be the entry to the space, a view or an important architectural element. A formal grouping of
spaces can create an axis where otherwise one may not naturally exist or be suggested by
existing conditions.
The space creating the axis is important and is significant, either symbolically or functionally,
and the direction of the axis focuses attention not on the space, but usually on something at one
or both ends of the axis.]
In a larger set of construction drawings, which drawing number would indicate a plumbing
drawing? - Answer-M2
For larger drawing sets where consultants are involved, drawing page numbers are preceded
with a capital letter designating the discipline involved. Plumbing is typically included in the M
(mechanical) series.
In a new lifestyle hotel, the spa suites will have 4 poster canopy beds. How far away from the
sprinkler heads should the beds and panels be? - Answer-20 inches
[The canopy would be considered an obstruction to discharge as defined in NFPA 13, 8.5.5
Obstructions to Sprinkler Discharge, which restricts continuous or noncontinuous obstructions
less than or equal to 18in (450mm) below the sprinkler deflector.]
On which drawing would you find the abbreviations NIC, BRK, FPL? - Answer-working drawings
[On the floor plan, also called working drawings, you may see abbreviations like:
NIC: not in contract
BRK: break
FPL: fireplace
As abbreviations may vary, these should also be listed in the drawing legend.]
Overall department relationships of a large company being planned to occupy a multistory
building would most likely be shown in - Answer-a stacking diagram
[To show overall departmental relationships (rather than individual space relationships), a
stacking diagram is used.
Then individual block diagrams or bubble diagrams are developed for each floor.]
Political conditions, economic conditions, cultural attitudes, symbolism and regionalism are all? -
Answer-social and cultural beliefs that often influence interior design
[Political conditions, economic conditions, cultural attitudes, symbolism and regionalism are all
social and cultural beliefs that often influence interior design.]
