Energy Efficient Design And Construction

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 30 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Use of site consideration - house orientation - and room placement to improve energy efficiency






2. Excellent insulating value for window - in you-value






3. Minimum code requirement for flat ceiling insulation






4. Type of insulation that is usually blown into wall and roof cavities - used to insulate existing buildings - are-3.7 per inch






5. Energy efficiency measurement in a poorly insulated structure - measured in ACH






6. Minimum code requirement for vaulted ceiling insulation






7. Most frequently used insulation for wall and ceiling cavities - are-3.5 per inch






8. Air changes per hour - used to determine tightness of structure






9. A microscopic layer of metal applied to glass surfaces to reflect heat energy






10. A device that consist of a fan - a removable panel - and gauges used to measure and locate air leaks and ACH






11. Are-value per inch of cellulose insulation






12. Excellent efficiency measurement for a energy efficient building - measured in ACH






13. Used for sealing seams on vapor barrier






14. Amount of time required for a return on investment to repay the sum of the original investment






15. Keeps moisture out of wall and insulation - usually 6mm polyethylene plastic






16. Main design component used for reducing heat loss






17. The ability to resist transfer of heat






18. Allowing for winter sun entry into the south side of the house






19. A measure of the thermal resistance of material - especially insulation - equal 1/are-value






20. Type of rigid foam insulation used on walls and ceilings - are-5 per inch






21. Are-value per inch for fiberglass insulation






22. Minimum code requirement for wall insulation






23. Used in windows to reduce heat transfer from inside to outside of the window






24. Window type used in most new construction






25. A measure of the thermal resistance of a material






26. A housewrap applied to the exterior of the building that controls airflow and water into the wall - and allowing interior moisture vapor to escape.






27. An analysis of energy loss in a structure - typically including recommendations






28. Very inefficient window - seldom used in energy efficient buildings






29. A material that absorbs heat from a heat source - and then releases it slowly






30. Type of high are rigid foam insulation used on walls and ceilings - are-5.6 to 8 per inch
