Garage

Fixtures

Use ENT Assembly unless spec requires otherwise.

PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES/GARAGE FIXTURE ENT W/#10 - STEEL OCT RING PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES/GARAGE FIXTURE W/T ROD ENT W/#10 - STEEL OCT RING

If PVC, use following assemblies:

Case Assembly Path
Ceiling PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES/... - SLAB BOX / 45 DEG STUBBY
Wall PVC/ENT ASSEMBLIES/... - STL BOX & TILE RING / 45 DEG STUBBY/ ENT DROP

Homeruns

System = "EL - Electrical"

Use 1 Homerun for every 3 circuits in Garage

Use assembly Common Assemblies/Device Homeruns in Slab/Deck

EMT EMT ASSEMBLIES/... - SQ BOX & ROUND P RING

Note

Use lighting control cable assemblies in Amenity areas

Tape Lighting

Also called "cove" or "strip", however those terms are less specific and potentially confusing.

Use item FIXTURE LABOR 1/2HR and change Fct 1 to match the calculated labor.

Note

Tape lighting length is limited by the "max power length" of the model (usually measured in millimeters). Max power length is usually 5000 to 15000 mm (about 16 to 49 ft) depending on luminous output and voltage.

Separate these fixtures by labor, not length

A - Surface: Tape - 0.5hr (01-06ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 1.0hr (07-12ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 1.5hr (13-18ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 2.0hr (19-24ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 2.5hr (25-30ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 3.0hr (31-36ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 3.5hr (37-42ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 4.0hr (43-48ft) - MC #12 40ft
A - Surface: Tape - 4.5hr (49-54ft) - MC #12 40ft

For crowded puck light areas: measure length between fixtures, round up to the nearest 5ft

Note

"HI HAT" refers to a recessed can fixture.

Facade

Phase = "Facade"

Length and Labor will be more than a normal fixture in BOH/Amenity

Fixture Type Labor (hrs)
Non-Linear 2
Linear [See tape lighting](#Tape Lighting)
  1. 3/4" PVC W/ 3#10 - STL BOX & TILE RING / 45 DEG STUBBY/ ENT DROP
    • Length per Unit = Distance to panel

Porte Cochere (Drive up Area)

Create its own breakout in WBS, and phase in Accubid

[!quote] This is not technically exposed or drop ceiling, but still use PVC

FAA Lighting

  1. FIXTURE LABOR/FIXTURE LABOR 1HR
  2. FESTOON & ROOF ASSEMBLIES/Aircraft Warning, 3/4" Conduit GRC/PVC 2#10, 1#10G

Festoon Lighting

AKA "string" or "market" lights

  1. FIXTURE LABOR/FIXTURE LABOR 2HR
  2. FESTOON & ROOF ASSEMBLIES/FESTOON CABLE HANGER & EYE BOLTS - LENGTH
    • Length per Unit = Light string length
  3. COURTYARDS & LANDSCAPE/ALUM BOX W/ FLEX FIX, 3/4" CONDUIT - PVC40 - ...
    • Length per Unit = Distance to panel + 15ft

  1. If we don't own concrete, delete Pre-cast bollard base from assembly ↩︎

  2. Per Corwin: Hand rail lights should have a rigid 90 stub up and some flex ↩︎
