Questions:
Fire Code of the Philippines
1. An integrated System of Underground or overhead piping or both connected
to a source of extinguishing agent or medium and designed in accordance
with fire protection engineering standards which when actuated by its
automatic detecting device suppresses fire within the area protected.
2. A fire alarm system activated by the presence of a fire, where the signal is
transmitted to designated locations instead of sounding a general alarm, in
order to prevent panic.
3. A wall designed to prevent the spread of fire, having a fire resistance rating of
not less than four (4) hours with sufficient structural stability to remain
standing even if construction on either side collapse under fire conditions.
4. The maximum number of persons that may be allowed to occupy a particular
building, structure or facility or portions thereof.
5. Automatic closing doors that are designed to confine smoke and heat and
delay the spread of fire.
6. A passage hall or antechamber between the outer doors and the interior
parts of a house or building.
7. Any street, alley or other strip of land unobstructed from the ground to the
sky, deeded, dedicated or otherwise permanently appropriated for public use.
8. A fire resistive door prescribed for openings in fire separation walls or
partitions.
9. Passageway from one building to another or through or around a wall in
approximately the same floor level.
Acoustics
10.Is the interdisciplinary science that deals with the study of all mechanical
waves in gases, liquids, and solids including topics such as vibration, sound,
ultrasound and infrasound.
11.Two or more loudspeaker clusters at strategic positions within the auditorium.
Such systems are used when there are a number of different sources to be
amplified or the source is quite mobile. By using two or more microphones,
each connected to their own cluster of speakers, the spatial relationship
between the sources is preserved in the amplified sound.
12.The science of limiting and/or controlling noise transmission from one
building space to another to ensure space functionality and speech privacy.
The typical sound paths are room partitions, acoustic ceiling panels, doors,
windows, flanking, ducting and other penetrations.
13.The sound phenomenon that happens to sound when it strikes a surface is
that the sound is absorbed by the surface.
14.Near large obstructions such as walls. It is dominant and approaches a
diffused condition
15.Exist between the near and reverberant field. The intensity varies as pressure
squared and inversely with the distance

16.Factors to consider in lighting system

17.The science that deals with the measurement of light
DK Ching (Visual dictionary)
18.An amount of power, especially the power required to operate an electrical
device or appliance, expressed in watts.
19.An auxiliary power station where electrical current is converted as from DC to
AC, or where voltage is stepped up or down.
20.The law that the illumination produced on a surface by a point source is
proportional to the cosine of the angle of incidence. Also called as Lamberts
Law.
21.Lighting design to provide string illumination for visually demanding activity,
as reading or drafting.
22.A component of the daylight factor, equal to the ratio of daylight illumination
at a point on a given plane received directly from a sky of assumed or known
luminance distribution to the simultaneously measured luminance on a
horizontal plane from an unobstructed hemisphere of this sky.
23.A written communication issued by an owner authorizing a contractor to
proceed with the work and establishing the date of commencement of the
work.
24.A screen placed in front of a fireplace to prevent sparks or embers from
entering the room.
25.The chamber containing the fire of a fireplace.
26.Any various materials, as concrete, gypsum, or mineral fiber, used in making
a structural member or system resistant to damage destruction by fire.
27.A coating that, when exposed to the heat of a fire, swells to form a thick
insulating layer of inert gas bubbles that retards flame spread and
combustion.
28.Results from evenly spaced reflection paths, such as the rows of raised
seating in amphitheaters and the evenly spaced curves of compressed
fiber fencing.
29.This is essentially a single cluster of loudspeakers located near the source.
Such a system gives maximum realism as the amplified sound, whilst
increasing loudness and clarity, is still associated with the original source.
30.Basically a number of loudspeakers spaced throughout the auditorium. This is
also known as a low level system as each individual speaker operates at a
low amplification level to service only a small part of the whole audience
31.Prefabricated panels are limited to the size of the substrate ranging
from______
32.A sound maybe covered up or absorbed by another sound. This phenomena is
called masking of sound and this is very useful in acoustics
33.That effect brought about by a low-steady sound
34.Is the term applied to the direct sound which if the originating body stops,
vibrating also stops.
35.The best location for the sound absorbents in a room intended for speech is
at the end of the room away from the speaker and also to those surfaces
which might produce unwanted echoes, like the rear of the wall of the hall,
especially if the wall is concave.
