  A building has a roof area that is sloped at ¼” per foot. The roof area has overflow scuppers and downspouts. The architect discover an overflow scupper and downspout can drain to a covered trash enclosure below. What should the architect do?

  1. Relocate both the down spout and the overflow scupper
  2. Relocate the down spout but leave the overflow scupper at the original location
  3. Contact the owner and ask the owner’s opinion
  4. Contact the city to find out if the overflow scupper can be placed over a covered trash enclosure

  I have started to post the answers for the questions whenever I have time. Every time you see this thread pushed up, you should see an answer added for one of the questions. I wish I could have more time, but between managing multiple projects, and acting as LEED administrator for many projects, and writing my other books for ARE exams, I can only pitch in time every now and then.

  Many of the problems I came up with are based on real problems I encountered in my work as an architect, they should help you pass the ARE exams, but more importantly, they can help you become a better architect.
