Much of my issue with terminology
can be blamed on **overgeneralization via hyperspecification**,
[Proprietary eponyms](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/proprietary_eponym)
(synonym: [genericized trademark](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/genericized_trademark))
are usually[^2] an example of such,
and are prominent in electrical construction.[^3]
[^2]: I'm not a complete pedant, Cadweld is a perfectly unambiguous substitution.
"Caddy", "Hilti", and "Vitalink" are my real complaints,
where the word only gets me marginally closer
to creating a concrete image in my head.
The general acceptance of "band-aid"
compared to the rejection of "coke"
may be related.

## 2025-12-10 10:45 --- ConEst Lighting Controls Meeting Notes
#occupational/takeoff #topic/ambiguity #topic/transparency
### Minutes
2025-12-10 08:30--10:00
Objective: Discuss lighting control systems
A primary reason for the discussion was presented:
> [!example] ^ex
> While putting together a large garden style project
> Bid received a quote for lighting control at over one million dollars.
> Believing it [[gold-plating|overengineered]],
> Bid proposed ~$150,000 for lighting control "per code".
> The contract was awarded on those terms.
> When the project team received a quote for a "per code" system,
> the total was ~$600,000.
Ultimately the responsibility is ConEst's
to resolve discrepancies between:
* applicable code
* design intent
* Bid proposal intent
* PDR quote intent
It was erroneously suggested that lighting control conductors
may be run with their circuit conductors if both are 600V insulated.[^1]
[^1]: This is a violation of [[nfpa-70_725_control-circuits#725.136(I) Other Applications.|NEC 725.136(I)(1)]].
See [[lighting-controls#0-10V Dimming|0-10V Dimming]].
### My Thoughts
The lighting control problem is misunderstood.
It's true that some technical training would be beneficial to ConEst estimators,
but root of the problem has nothing to do with lighting control.
When I heard [[#^ex]], where lighting control went wrong
and costed a job half a million in profit,
what I took away was that we sold high-risk scope
without knowing what was required _and without qualification_.
Others have suggested creating new assemblies grouped by manufacturer,
which I'm not a fan of.
While it's true that similar implementations
_are_ different between manufacturers,
the differences are trivial for our purposes.
More to the problem,
such an arrangement would inevitably lead to confusion
(i.e. taking off the wrong brand
because its contents happen to match better in a specific instance).

### Key to Gregg Notehand

### Index to Gregg Notehand
## Gregg Notehand
Gregg Notehand is a simplified form of Gregg Shorthand.
It is described in the namesake [[Leslie_1968_Gregg-Notehand]]
### Critiques
The lessons use sounds-like-(letter)-in-(word) type phoneme definitions,
and generally suffer from a facile understanding of phonology.
Totally unacceptable for a proposed alternative alphabet,
but then the text does not understand that's what it's proposing.

> Gregg Notehand is easy to learn---easier, actually, than longhand. Why?
> In longhand, there are many different ways of writing a given letter;
> in Gregg Notehand, there is only one way.
This is a baffling first paragraph.
Without further clarification,
the text seems to be implying that students learning longhand
are expected to learn to read and write
many forms of the same letter,
where reality is the opposite.
In fact, it is plain to see from the lessons in the text
that Gregg Notehand had far more individual character variation
than is accepted of the English alphabet.
The text does not specify winding direction for circular forms
(e.g. "a" and "e"),
nor is the illustrator consistent between words.
For many words, neither option is more intuitive,
and the choice _radically_ changes its form.
More damningly, in Lesson 26 we learn
the "s" stroke _is allowed to be written backwards._
It's a very strange choice,
claiming that a shorthand is less ambiguous
than the writing system it replaces.
I'm sure its possible,
but English doesn't have enough frills to cut off.
Shorthand trades certainty for speed,
that's the whole point.
***
Some words, especially those more than one syllable,
I believe are illustrated incorrectly
based on preceding text and examples.
"Navy" is particularly egregious.

# Actuarial Science for Construction Estimating
For a contractor, construction projects are like _investments_
in that they have a cost and return.
However, for construction projects,
**return** is known but **cost** must be estimated.
In this way, projects are better compared to _insurance accounts_.

# Building Area Classification
* G = Gross Area
* R = Rentable Area
* U = Usable Area
* N = Net Area
$$
G > R > U > N
$$
## Gross Area (GSF)
Gross Area is the total floor area of a building.
Whether the area includes exterior wall area
depends on the relevant standard.
* International Building Code (IBC):
measured to the interior face of exterior walls.
* Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA):
total footprint, including exterior wall thickness.
## Rentable Area (RSF)
Rentable Area includes tenant exclusive space (usable area)
plus a pro-rata share of common areas (load factor).
$$
\text{Rentable Area} = \text{Usable Area} \times (1 + \text{Load Factor})
$$
### Usable Area (USF)
Usable Area is the tenant's exclusive space.
the area physically occupied and controlled by a specific tenant.
Usable Area includes:
* Primary functional areas (offices, workstations, meeting rooms)
* Internal circulation within the tenant's space
* Columns, recesses, and other features within the leased boundary
But excludes:
* Common corridors and lobbies
* Shared service areas
* Major vertical penetrations (elevator shafts, stairs)
### Net Area (NSF)
the actual functional, programmable space.
Also called Net Assignable Area.
Net Area includes:
* Actual functional program spaces (offices, classrooms, apartments)
* Space planned for specific uses in a program
But it excludes:
* All circulation (even within tenant space)
* All service and support spaces
* Structural elements, wall thicknesses
## Building Efficiency
Building efficiency is the ratio of usable or rentable area to gross area.
This denotes what percentage of the building is functionally usable.
$$
\text{Building Efficiency} = \frac{ \text{Net Assignable Area} }{ \text{Gross Area} }
$$
A higher percentage means less area is lost to structure,
mechanical spaces, or circulation.
* Office buildings: 75-90%
* Residential buildings: 80%+
* Hospitals and laboratories: 50-65%

# _Gregg Notehand_
Gregg Notehand is a simplified form of Gregg Shorthand.
It is described in the namesake [[Leslie_1968_Gregg-Notehand]]
This note is a description and critique
of both the book and the shorthand,
since the latter is fully described nowhere else.
## Critiques
The lessons use sounds-like-(letter)-in-(word) type phoneme definitions,
and generally suffer from a facile understanding of phonology.
Totally unacceptable for a proposed alternative alphabet,
but then the text does not understand that's what it's proposing.
> [[Leslie_1968_Gregg-Notehand#2-8. Notehand principles]]
> **Silent letters omitted.**
> In the English language many words contain letters that are not pronounced.
> In Notehand these silent letters are omitted,
> and only those sounds in a word are written that are actually pronounced.
> For example,
> in the word say, the y would not be written because it is not pronounced;
> say would be written s-a.
> The word face would be written f-a-s;
> the final e would be omitted because it is not pronounced,
> and the c would be represented by the s stroke because it is pronounced s.
>
> What letters in the following words would not be written in Notehand
> because they are not pronounced?
>
> * day
> * eat
> * main
> * mean
> * save
> * steam
***
> [[Leslie_1968_Gregg-Notehand#2-8. Notehand principles]]
> Gregg Notehand is easy to learn---easier, actually, than longhand. Why?
> In longhand, there are many different ways of writing a given letter;
> in Gregg Notehand, there is only one way.
This is a baffling first paragraph.
Without further clarification,
the text seems to be implying that students learning longhand
are expected to learn to read and write
many forms of the same letter,
where reality is the opposite.
In fact, it is plain to see from the lessons in the text
that Gregg Notehand had far more individual character variation
than is accepted of the English alphabet.
The text does not specify winding direction for circular forms
(e.g. "a" and "e"),
nor is the illustrator consistent between words.
For many words, neither option is more intuitive,
and the choice _radically_ changes its form.
More damningly, in Lesson 26 we learn
the "s" stroke _is allowed to be written backwards._
It's a very strange choice,
claiming that a shorthand is less ambiguous
than the writing system it replaces.
I'm sure its possible,
but English doesn't have enough frills to cut off.
Shorthand trades certainty for speed,
that's the whole point.
***
Some words, especially those more than one syllable,
I believe are illustrated incorrectly
based on preceding text and examples.
"Navy" is particularly egregious.
