@old_scientist here is the link

@technogeek Thanks for providing the link - Graham's argument makes perfect sense, and it was nice to understand the logic of why Quiet Mode exists.

@aaron -  have you also used "gut feel" when allocating the number and position of electric sockets?

Two twin outlets is the fewest I've ever seen in a new-build,
especially with such an enormous floor area.

Ah... surface-run in steel conduit. 🙂 

I hadn't anticipated that industrial approach.
Sweet!

My own guess was than you were going to run services down the steel H-section uprights.

 

Why the single-bar towel radiator 3-metres above floor-level? 😉

@transparent That illustration suggests an 8-10 double sockets job to me, after all, that is still only 4 sockets per wall and two for plug in sensors or detectors. Regards, Toodles.

@transparent Back in the seventies, a new building was being constructed in my department and I was asked by the architects for comments on the suggested room layouts and design. As a technician, I was aware that one double 13 amp outlet in each room wasn’t going to cut the mustard. I looked at the plans and noted that there was one proposed drop in conduit to a double socket per room. I commented to them that as these were offices for staff who would be using a desk lamp, a dictation device and a tape recorder (early 70’s) at the very minimum, there ought to be at least two double sockets per room placed on opposite walls so placed that the tutors would have a choice of which end of the room was used to place the desk.

Back came the reply from the architects that this was an extravagance they could not condone! I then suggested that if the drops were so placed, they would supply power to two rooms per drop and that by placing them at opposite ends of the room for alternate drops, each room could have four sockets for very little extra cost. They adopted my suggestion but even then, the tutors all needed extensions leads to plug in a myriad of other low power devices. Unfortunately the heating had also been skimped on and we ended up having to use one wall socket per room for a fan heater! Regards, Toodles.
