  1. What is the recommended minimum ambient light level for general office task work according to IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society)?

    Answer: 30 foot-candles

    IES standards recommend approximately 30 foot-candles (about 300 lux) for general office ambient lighting, with higher levels at task surfaces.

  2. In a move management project, a 'move sequence' document is used to:

    Answer: Schedule the order and timing of individual and group relocations

    A move sequence establishes the chronological order of moves to minimize disruption, ensure spaces are ready before occupants arrive, and coordinate elevator and loading dock access.

  3. Which WELL Building Standard feature directly addresses thermal comfort and its impact on occupant productivity?

    Answer: WELL Feature T01 – Thermal Performance

    WELL Feature T01 sets requirements for mean radiant temperature, operative temperature ranges, and individual thermal control to support occupant comfort and performance.

  4. A facility manager implementing a space consolidation strategy primarily aims to:

    Answer: Reduce total occupancy costs by shrinking the real estate footprint

    Space consolidation collapses underutilized areas to reduce lease obligations and operating costs, often enabled by higher-density workplace designs or remote work policies.

  5. Which standard provides guidelines for accessible parking space dimensions and quantities in US commercial facilities?

    Answer: ADA Standards for Accessible Design

    The ADA Standards for Accessible Design (based on ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines) specify the number, dimensions, and signage requirements for accessible parking spaces.

  6. When a facility manager uses CAFM (Computer-Aided Facility Management) software for space management, which data layer is most critical for accurate space inventory?

    Answer: CAD floor plans linked to space records

    CAFM space management relies on CAD or BIM floor plans linked to a space database so that room boundaries, areas, and assignments remain accurate and queryable.
