How to practically use brown sheets in the new millennium?

PA Quiz Break 13 - features a question that suggests the use of a drawing tool I am learning for the first time called a brownsheet?

On page 206 of the Problem Seeking Book, there is an example of it? Apparently from August/1998. But I would like to know what the rest of the 57,350sf was programmed as. It feels a little picky, but as someone that may be trying to use this technique in the future. I would like to know, if there are other examples of the use of this technique in other references. @coachfaithbroussard & @coachmikeparaszczak

Hi BreSheena!

I did some digging and couldn’t find any other examples of brown sheets in use explicitly. I wouldn’t stress too much on the specificity of a brown sheet, and I think the image gives a good example of what it entails and why it would be used (although might be missing information).

From a future-use and exam-use standpoint, the chances you’ll be asked to use/identify a brown sheet specifically are low, but the chances you’ll need to analyze program elements and identify/assign priority in the building design are high! As long as you have a method to that, the exact method is trivial.
