Daer All, Have questions that I have no clue for it,
need to asign discipline for the these:
-Specialty Lighting which refers to lighting design. This includes drawings for wiring, light fixture locations, light fixture schedules, extent of lit areas, catalogue cuts, etc. In general, it's a special discipline that concerns itself with lighting design, and selection of appropriate fixtures and bulbs.
-and Wind and Micro Climate is about studying how wind moves around a building, or in a particular space. Drawings and reports are produced to to the benefit of the Facade engineers and the structural engineers.
-and Acoustic and Vibration look at the acoustic noise levels, and may make recommendations on interior finish materials, may work on specialty noise baffles, may and often do work on speaker / PA systems, review MEP systems and how they are connected to the structure, and look at skylights and other areas where outside noise may come through.
-and Facade Engineering is all about facade details, designing skylights, cladding systems, etc.

-and Facade maintenance is about designing systems for cleaning and maintenance (light bulb replacement). This includes designing rigs, pulleys, hooks, bridges, etc. to allow people to get to various places so they can clean and maintain the building and it's systems.

-and Security includes the security systems, wiring, access control drawings, locations of sensors, CCTV cameras, exit strategies, etc. It may also include a key schedule for all doors.

I am using AIA standards and could not figure this request from on of our Contractors, any help would be great.
