I proposed Equestrian Surfacing. It can be used for the specially treated soils and other ground and floor products used in dressage, rodeo, and other equestrian arenas, stables, and corrals. I appreciate Ellis’s sense of humor, however. ---

Terracotta Wall Panels in 2014 and earlier versions. Terra Cotta Wall Panels in 2016. Terra-Cotta Wall Panels in 2018? I once learned in English class that a general rule was compound words (combined, or with hyphen) were used as adjectives rather than nouns. “My junkyard dog guards my junk yard.” "I clad this project with terra cotta. “I clad this project with [terracotta] [terra-cotta] wall panels.” ---

Staying consistent with other 07 54 XX sections should also mean the change to 07 54 16 should be “Ketone-Ethylene-Ester Roofing” ---

Terracotta off to a slow start; in the back stretch, Terra-Cotta jumps to a commanding lead; at the curve, Terra Cotta challenges; coming out of the curve, Terracotta takes control; and at the finish, it’s Terracotta by several lengths.

For what it is worth, manufacturers Boston Valley and Gladding Mc Bean use Terra Cotta. The NPS uses Terra-cotta in their Preservation Brief. ---

The MF2016 Numbers and Titles was posted last week at [http://csinet.org/numbersandtitles](http://csinet.org/numbersandtitles). Read through it, and from an M&E point of view I’m very impressed. It’s like someone has been reading my mind of things that were missing. It will still take my brain quite a bit of time to go through the complete rewrite of Division 28, hopefully they post a transition tool to convert from 2004-2014 numbers to 2016, similar for 1995 to 2004. Some of my pleasant discoveries thus far: -Sleeves and Seals -Breaking out lighting by source (kudos to Michael Heinsdorf for this?) -Different kinds of air coils Looks like the Revisions webpage at [http://www.masterformat.com/revisions/](http://www.masterformat.com/revisions/) has not yet been updated. ---

Credit for the lighting breakout goes to MasterSpec’s Engineering Review Committee, who reviewed several methods of breaking out the lighting and decided that was the way that made the most sense. There is more coming on the ME side - we’ve already started putting together several proposals for MF2018. ---

When can we get rid of the plaguy gerunds peculiar to architectural sections? “Tiling” is the process of applying tile, not the work result of installed tile. And the gerund titles are inconsistent: 07 9200 is not “Sealing,” nor do we have “Lockering,” “Roof Accessorizing,” “Toilet Compartmenting,” “Operable Partitioning,” or “Elevatoring.” The engineering divisions manage to avoid such titling. ;-\> ---

Louis, If we change “tiling” section to “tile”, should we also change “ceiling” to “ceil”? I proposed the revitalization of “ceil” in an article last year. See [http://www.ceilume.com/static/pdfs/ceu-ceil-with-thermoformed-tiles.pdf](http://www.ceilume.com/static/pdfs/ceu-ceil-with-thermoformed-tiles.pdf). ---

The article in Specifier magazine was interesting. The author comments that the security “industries have not done a good job of effectively engaging with CSI in general and, more specifically, keeping MasterFormat Division 28 relevant.” I recall 20 years back when these industries desperately wanted to create “Division 17” and were thwarted for a while. When new divisions were created in MasterFormat, the industry got what they wanted - but they apparently did not engage in keeping it useful. Hopefully this new standing committee from the Security Industry Association will keep MasterFormat more relevant. ---

So I’m a bit confused by the newly revised Division 28, and specifically how it relates to door hardware, especially with the deletion/renumbering of 08 74 00. Where do Electromagnetic Door Holders now go? They used to be in 08 74 00, but I’ve seen jobs where it gets farmed to the EE to specify them, especially as related to a fire alarm system. I don’t think they belong in 28 15 15 (where 08 74 00 essentially got moved to). Most often they get put in for a door that is left “normally open”, and closed by the fire alarm system. Alternatively, I suppose there is a case where a door held open can be left open during “business hours” and released by the access control system to be normally closed off hours to support the 28 15 15 idea? I’ve never actually encountered this scenario. Can anyone enlighten me or make a suggestion? ---

I understand that Division 17 is RESERVED for peopled to pin pet peeves onto. ---

Keep all door hardware in 08 8700 regardless of whether it is electronic or not. Most distributors furnish doors, frames, and hardware, and it is they who can most effectively coordinate the prep. Electromagnetic hold opens, like any other electronic or electrically operated hardware, need to be identified on the appropriate electrical drawings so that rough-ins are not missed. Related to your thought of closing the door by powering off the hold open after business hours, I have also used this technique to secure doors in schools from a central location during lockdowns. ---

I agree with George here on the issue of locating the actual door hardware - at least the items that are in the architect’s scope of work. For us, some items are not in our scope of work such as contact switches for monitoring the door and some other exotic types of security systems. In our hardware schedule of sets, for those sets where these items not in our scope are present, we put a note that refers to coordinate with (typically) the Owner’s security consultant. What I usually see in the Division 28 sections even when its not been pre-coordinated with our consultants putting it together is just how these different devices are required to be connected and interface with elements like the security system, the fire alarm system, etc. And typically it refers to the division 8 hardware section for the specific item selection itself. They don’t want to be picking hardware items and we don’t want to be talking about wiring/connectivity. I have had very few instances of using hold opens to close a door based on time/access requirements. So its a yes, but rare. Reason being that its much easier to control through electric locks that interface with the security where they can open them individually from the central security station, or they open or lock based on programed times. That way you don’t need to send someone through the facility opening doors manually.
