1 - INTRODUCTION
The fundamental scientific principles that govern home performance are collectively known as: physical laws building science diagnostics thermodaynamics. 1 - INTRODUCTION The components of a house can be said to fall into four general categories: building, mechanicals, environment, and : structure ventilation ocupantes energy. 1 - INTRODUCTION What types of fundation involves significant excavation, but adds a flor to a house, and proides space for mechanical equipament, duckwork, and utilities? slab-on-grade crawldpace deep basement. 1 - INTRODUCTION A sloped framing member that supports the roof is called a: rafter joist stud bay. 1 - INTRODUCTION A vertical frame member that supports an interior or exterior wall is called a: rafter joist stud bay. 2 - HEAT AND INSULATION An object at rest is said to possess what type of energy? thermal potential eletromagnetic knetic. 2 - HEAT AND INSULATION The transfer of heat through materials in contat is called: diffusion convection eletromagnetic knetic. 2 - HEAT AND INSULATION The border between conditioned and uncoditioned space in a house is called the: building envelope temperature gradient thermal boundary convective loop. 2 - HEAT AND INSULATION Loose fiberglass can be held together with adhesive to create: pockts bays dense-packing batts. 2 - HEAT AND INSULATION Which of the following is a meassure of how fast heat moves through a material? U-value Overall R-value Overall R-value ΔT. 3 - AIR AND AIR SEALING Which of the following is the difference in measured air pressure between two areas? Relative humidity steady- state efficieny (SSE) ΔP ΔT. 3 - AIR AND AIR SEALING Air unitentionally flowing ou of a house is called: Standy loss Windwashing Infiltration exfiltration. 3 - AIR AND AIR SEALING What framing types is found in most houses built since the 1940s, and involves building the floor before framing the walls? rafter ballon slab-on-grade platform. 3 - AIR AND AIR SEALING When building a box over a recessed light in the attic, what is the best option for the top of the box? draywall expanded polystyrene (EPS) extruded polystyrene (XPS) polyisocyanurate. 3 - AIR AND AIR SEALING When dense-packing exterior wall in a balloon-framed house, what should you install to avoid creating a mound of insulation in the basement? soffit vent chutes blocks knee walls thermal breaks. 4 - MOISTURE AND MOISTURE CONTROL A family of four, through exhanling and sweating, can produce approximately how much moisture in a day? 2.5 cups 2.5 pints 2.5 quarts 2.5 gallons. 4 - MOISTURE AND MOISTURE CONTROL The four-step moisture cycle consists of collection, evaporation, condensation, and: Tdistribuition exfiltration precipitation saturation. 4 - MOISTURE AND MOISTURE CONTROL Which device would you use if you wanted to reduce the relative humity in a room? humidifier heat recovery ventilator (HRV) sump pump dehumidifier. 4 - MOISTURE AND MOISTURE CONTROL What is technical term for moisture movement in a house? moisture flow moisture transport moisture action moisture transfer. 4 - MOISTURE AND MOISTURE CONTROL The rate at which water vapor passes through a material is meassured in: perms therms cubic feet per minute (CFM) air changes per hour (ACH). 5 - MECHANICAL SYSTEMS What is the general term for system that condition the air in certain parts of a house? space heating and cooling domestic hot water (DHW) mechanical ventilation photovoltaic (PV). 5 - MECHANICAL SYSTEMS What are the highest efficiency or sealed combustion venting types made of? galvanized metal stainless steel polyvinyl chloride (PVC) double-wall metal (B-vent). 5 - MECHANICAL SYSTEMS What is the most common way to measure the cooling efficiency of a heat pump? seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) steady-state efficiency (SSE) heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF) energy efficiency ratio (EER). 5 - MECHANICAL SYSTEMS Which of the following cooling systems is the most efficient? a cooling syste with a SEER rating of 11 a cooling system with a SEER rating of 12 a cooling system with a SEER rating of 13 a cooling system with a SEER rating of 14. 5 - MECHANICAL SYSTEMS For combustion to occur, what three elements must e present? heat, air, and moisture air, fuel, and heat carbon dioxide (CO2), water, and heat light, air, and fuel. 6 - CONSERVATION STRATEGIES A comprehensive assessment of a home's performance is called a(n): baseload energy index energy audit heating setpoint. 6 - CONSERVATION STRATEGIES What is the unit of measure for light? Pascal Lumen Kilowatt Perm. 6 - CONSERVATION STRATEGIES What home energy-labeling program is providedby the U.S. Green Building HERS Index ENERGY STAR Homes LEED for Homes NAHBGreen. 6 - CONSERVATION STRATEGIES What inert gas is placed in the spaces between panes in a hight-efficiency window to provide additional thermal resistance? Argon Neon Nitrogen Helium. 6 - CONSERVATION STRATEGIES What raating on a National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) windows label measure how well the windows blocks radiant heat? U-factor Visible transmittance (VT) condensation resistance solar heat gain coefficient (SHGG). 7 - U.S. DOE HOME ENERGY SCORE The home Energy Score uses information about a house's ____________ to rate its energy efficiency on a scale of 1 to 10. Assets Use Construction Location. 7 - U.S. DOE HOME ENERGY SCORE The home Energy Score is determined by: 2009 International Energy Conservation Code 2012 International Energy Consercation Code ENERGY STAR Certified Homes, Version 3 An asset assessement that isn't tied to code. 7 - U.S. DOE HOME ENERGY SCORE Which of the following is eligible for a Home Energy Score? Multifamily building containing <4 units Multifamily building with <2 stories above grade Single-family house or townhouse Apartament-style condominium. |
