NCARB ARE 5.0 Project Development and Documentation Exam Sample Questions (Q87-Q92):
NEW QUESTION # 87
A family-owned apple farm in the Upper Midwest is taking advantage of a change in the local zoning code that added a new Agri-Tourism class in the existing farm zone. This allows the Owner to build a new facility on their existing site. The building will be open to the public and include a brewery, distillery, tap room, and market. The architect is ready to submit the drawings to the Owner for the 50% construction documents review.
To accommodate a compressed construction schedule, the Owner will be utilizing a design-build process. The Contractor has submitted the Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) shop drawings to the Architect for review, due to the lead time on this critical path item. Once construction begins, farming operations must be able to continue uninterrupted.
Key project information includes:
* Brewing and distilling will operate year-round.
* Brewery will initially include four fermenting tanks. Owner has requested space for at least two additional tanks. Potential expansion will be based on future sales.
* Distillery will produce 16% alcohol, which is classified as a flammable liquid. Fire separations are required.
* Tap Room is designed with seating for 300 people, not including exterior patio seating. It will have views to the working orchards and the historic buildings on site.
* Tap Room is scheduled to be open from August through November. Owner would like options to extend operating dates based on popularity.
* The Market area will feature local farm products and is not conditioned.
* Entire building will be fully sprinklered.
* Selected building materials are low-maintenance, as requested by the Owner, for durability and to reflect the nature of a working farm.
* Mechanical and electrical systems will be hung from the building structure. These loads are included in PEMB shop drawings.
* Public water and sewer is not available at the Project Site.
* Occupancy sensors are included to reduce utility costs and achieve energy conservation requirements.
The following resources are available for your reference:
* Architectural Drawings, including plans, elevations, sections, and schedules
* Consultant Drawings, including structural, HVAC, power distribution, and plumbing
* PEMB Shop Drawings
* Design and Construction Schedule
* Specification Excerpts, showing relevant spec sections
* IBC and ADA Excerpts, showing relevant code and accessibility sections
* After reviewing the documents, the architect discovers a coordination issue in the corridor.
The owner is concerned about elevated noise levels in the Tap Room when fully occupied. The current design utilizes a 2 x 2 acoustic ceiling tile system installed above the fans. An acoustical engineer recommends noise mitigation through limiting reverberation time (RT) to 2.0 seconds or less in the space. This can be achieved by the provided ceiling material options and their corresponding area.
What should the architect recommend that will minimize additional project costs while providing the recommended acoustical solution?
- A. Retain current ceiling cloud layout and a 2 x 2 acoustic ceiling tile system and add acoustical sound board above.
- B. Retain current ceiling cloud layout and a 2 x 2 acoustic ceiling tile system but remove the fans.
- C. Revise design using only one ceiling cloud and cementitious wood fiber panel system (1" in thickness).
- D. Revise design using only one ceiling cloud and cementitious wood fiber panel system (2" in thickness).
Answer: A
Explanation:
1. Problem Summary
* Goal: Reduce reverberation time (RT) in the Tap Room to 2.0 seconds or less.
* Current design: 2' x 2' acoustic ceiling tile system (RT = 2.0 seconds) installed above fans.
* Constraint: Minimize additional project cost.
* Recommendation from acoustical engineer: Use materials to achieve target RT without redesigning the space.
2. Review of Table Data

3. Interpretation of RT Values
* Current 2x2 Acoustic Ceiling Tile: RT = 2.0 seconds # meets the target exactly.
* However, fans may reduce the acoustic performance by reflecting or scattering sound, so supplemental absorption may be needed.
* Adding Acoustical Sound Board (RT = 1.6) above the existing tile system will improve absorption and lower RT below 2.0 seconds.
4. Cost & Constructability
* Retaining the current ceiling layout and simply adding a layer above is:
* Least disruptive to current design.
* Avoids redesign of the ceiling cloud layout.
* Minimizes schedule impact (critical for design-build with compressed schedule).
* Replacing with wood fiber panels (1" or 2") would require removal of existing tile, redesign of suspension, and higher cost/SF.
5. Why Other Options Are Incorrect
* A. Remove fans: This addresses air movement, not RT. Removing them does not guarantee RT improvement and conflicts with HVAC design intent.
* B. One cloud + 1" wood fiber panels: Reduces coverage area and may not meet RT goal; also costly and disruptive.
* C. One cloud + 2" wood fiber panels: Even more costly, same redesign problem as B.
* D. Retain tiles and add sound board above: Achieves RT < 2.0, minimal disruption, cost-effective vs.
full replacement # best option.

NEW QUESTION # 88
In the design of a barrier-free access route, door locksets should be equipped with which one of the following?
- A. Grip handles with thumbpieces
- B. Lever handles
- C. Panic devices
- D. Knurled knobs
Answer: B
Explanation:
For barrier-free (ADA) accessible routes, operable parts such as door hardware must be usable with one hand and not require tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist (2010 ADA Standards §404.2.7). Lever handles meet this requirement because they can be operated by users with limited grip strength or dexterity.
A). Grip handles with thumbpieces - Often require pinching or twisting; not compliant for barrier-free.
B). Knurled knobs - Non-compliant because they require twisting and strong grip; also typically used for hazardous rooms as a tactile warning.
D). Panic devices - Allowed in certain egress conditions but not the universal ADA hardware requirement for standard accessible doors.
PDD Reference: ARE 5.0 Handbook, PDD "Codes and Regulations-Accessibility," 2010 ADA Standards
§404.2.7, ICC A117.1 Accessibility Standard.
NEW QUESTION # 89 
Refer to the exhibit.
The exterior cast-in-place concrete wall of a heated building is insulated with polyurethane slabs.
The concrete will be warmest in the winter if the insulation is applied as shown in which of the following?
- A. C
- B. A
- C. B
- D. D
Answer: D
Explanation:
To keep the concrete warmest in winter, place the continuous insulation on the exterior so the concrete mass stays inside the thermal envelope and sees interior temperatures. This reduces heat loss, limits risk of interstitial condensation at the concrete surface, and improves thermal lag. Option D shows all polyurethane insulation on the outside of the wall; A and B place some or all insulation inside, and C splits it-both allow more winter heat loss from the concrete.
PDD references: Building envelope heat flow & thermal mass strategy; continuous insulation placement (ASHRAE Fundamentals; NCARB ARE 5.0 PDD-Envelope & Thermal/Moisture Protection, CSI Div 07).

Check if this matches required savings:
No, it's less than $150,000. So let's check others briefly.
Total savings = $100,000 + $52,500 = $152,500 # Meets and exceeds required savings
Options A and B will be less, so the answer should be D.
Summary:
Option D results in approximately $152,500 savings, meeting the $150,000 target.
Reference:
NCARB ARE 5.0 Review Manual, Project Cost Control and Materials chapter Construction cost estimating principles and value engineering strategies Change 20,000 sf stained concrete ($6.00/sf) to VCT ($5.75/sf) Savings per sf = $6.00 - $5.75 = $0.25 Total savings = 20,000 sf × $0.25 = $5,000 Substitute 10,000 sf of VCT ($5.75/sf) for ceramic tile ($15.00/sf) Savings per sf = $15.00 - $5.75 = $9.25 Total savings = 10,000 sf × $9.25 = $92,500 Total savings = $5,000 + $92,500 = $97,500 Check if this matches required savings:
No, it's less than $150,000. So let's check others briefly.
Option D:
Change 25,000 sf stained concrete ($6.00/sf) to sealed concrete ($2.00/sf) Savings per sf = $6.00 - $2.00 = $4.00 Total = 25,000 × 4.00 = $100,000 Substitute 30,000 sf vinyl plank ($7.00/sf) for carpet ($8.75/sf) Savings per sf = $8.75 - $7.00 = $1.75 Total = 30,000 × 1.75 = $52,500 Total savings = $100,000 + $52,500 = $152,500 # Meets and exceeds required savings Options A and B will be less, so the answer should be D.
Summary:
Option D results in approximately $152,500 savings, meeting the $150,000 target.

The owner decides to triple the size of the distillery component of the project to make hand sanitizer and wants to use the Tap Room spaces adjacent to the brewery and distillery for this purpose.
Which of the following must the architect reevaluate and change to accommodate this request? Check the three that apply.
- A. A-03 FLOOR PLAN
- B. A-04 REFLECTED CEILING PLAN
- C. A-02 SITE PLAN
- D. A-01 LIFE SAFETY PLAN
- E. A-06 EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS
- F. A-05 ROOF PLAN
Answer: A,B,D
Explanation:
Tripling the distillery and converting adjacent Tap Room areas to production introduces additional hazard (flammable liquids), changes occupancies/occupant loads, and requires updated fire separations and egress.
A-01 Life Safety Plan must be revised for occupancy classification, fire#resistance ratings between uses, travel distances, exit widths/number, and signage.
A-03 Floor Plan must change to show new room uses, rated partitions/doors, openings, and equipment footprints.
A-04 Reflected Ceiling Plan must change for new/relocated rated assemblies at ceilings (e.g., continuity of fire
/smoke barriers), sprinkler/exit sign/FA device locations, and any duct-damper/access changes.
Site (B), Roof (E), and Elevations (F) are not directly driven by the interior use change.
PDD refs: IBC Chs. 3, 5-10 (occupancy, separation, egress), coordination of architectural, fire protection, and MEP on drawings (Division 01).
