Incandescent lights should generally be on a circuit separate from fluorescent lights. In commercial installations this is often mandatory because incandescent lights are on 120 V circuits and fluorescent lights are connected to 227V circuits.

On the Practicum, the program guide provides specific instructions for how lighting should be switched and typically requires the candidate to switch each type of light separately.

$3 is the symbol for a 3-way switch, which means it is controlled from 2 (two) locations - NOT 3 (it has 3 terminals inside the switch).

Supply air registers are often connected to the main ductwork with flexible ducting. This allows some adjustability in the exact location of an air register if its location conflicts with some other ceiling mounted item. The mechanical engineer should be consulted to determine how much the registers can be moved.

On the Practicum - refer to your program instructions.

Building code requires 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 systems drawing, the candidate is to place a minimum 2' x 2' (600 mm x 600 mm) access panel for the air handling unit where required. Always refer to your program instructions.

4.1.4 ALL objects located on a wall between 27" (685 mm) and 80" (2115 mm) AFF MUST NOT protrude more than 4" (100 mm) into an egress path of travel.
