AMB_ARE 5.0 - PROJECT PLANNING & DESIGN BASED ONFINAL EXAM STUDY THIS!!
Think of every large piece of outdoor equipment you might need for a large
building and decide where it should go on a site.
Answers :Dumpster: out of view, far from noses (smells bad), not near quiet
windows (banging lids)
Transformer: between the municipal service (electrical wires on poles or electrical
wires underground) and in-building switch gear. Could be on pole, on ground near
building, underground outside building or inside building. Ugly and sometimes
buzzes, so out of view if possible. If inside building often non-flammable coolant
needed inside the transformer.
Cooling tower: These are large. They want to be out of view and they need access
to the atmosphere so they can't be indoors. They are often near the chillers they
serve, but they can be remote if needed.
Generator: loud, but if it is a backup generator, it will be rarely used and the noise
will not be a problem. Must exhaust to outside, so typically a generator sits outside
the building. If it is an indoor generator, it must exhaust to the outside.

each fin shades direct sun.
Answers :The geometry of the fins vary relative to the position of the sun (see the
next card)
Position the vertical louvers on the east or west face so that the "cut-off" angle of
each fin shades direct sun.
Answers :This geometry will vary based on the specific location of the sun (see

Design a light shelf. Draw it in section. Try to get the proportions and materials
