Need some extra practice using the whiteboard and calculator to tackle those tough ARE math problems? At our ARE Live broadcast on October 20, 2022, we’ll review questions from the PA, PPD, and PDD divisions, solving complex math questions that you will come across in these three divisions. We’ll cover topics such as performing a zoning analysis, calculating the R-value of a wall system, and determining the amount of required parking on a site based on the program and zoning requirements. Our expert discussion with Black Spectacles’ Virtual Workshop Instructor Hayley Pugh will include a live demo of how to effectively use the whiteboard and calculator for these multi-step math problems. We’ll also offer a live Q&A session to answer any of your mathematical questions. Be sure to take the mock exam in advance so you can test your knowledge live with Hayley!

Hi everyone! question for the Q&A portion that I’ve had trouble finding information for: How do you calculate the bearing area of a column on a supporting wall? to clarify: how do you calculate the amount of a column that needs to sit on a supporting wall? ---

Hello, since the first question is asking for the maximum “allowable” square footage, shouldn’t we have only accounted for FAR? Had the question asked for “total” square footage then the setbacks and number of stories would come into account. ---
