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. Used for sealing seams on vapor barrier






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






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






4. A measure of the thermal resistance of a material






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






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






7. Window type used in most new construction
