Q

skylight

A

glazed opening in the roof with is typically fixed and non-operable.
with most skylights conditions the glazing run parallel to the roof.
Need to be careful about the solar gain as there is rarely an opportunity for shading.

25
stiles (door)
the vertical edges of the door (structures)
26
rails (door)
the horizontal edges of the door (structure)
27
in the drawing set what needs to be noted?
the swing direction
28
what are the swing directions
4 options LH- left hand RH - right hand LHR- LH reverse RHR- RH reverse
29
what does reverse mean when talking about a doors swing direction
indicated that the door swings out toward you
30
What is the makeup of a door
head jamb sill or threshold frame leaf rail stiles
31
swinging door
exterior & interior use requires space for the door swing most convenient for entry & passage most effective for acoustical & weather resistance can be fire rated CAN BE SINGLE OR DOUBLE LEAF
32
bypass sliding door
exterior & interior use requires no operating space more difficult to seal offers only 50% acess to door width
33
surface sliding door
interior use only in typical requires no operating space very difficult to seal offers full access to door width
34
pocket sliding door
interior use only is typically requires no operating space very difficult to sea offers full access to door width slides into a recess in the wall and can have finished appearance when open
35
folding door
interior use only is typical requires less opperating space than a swinging door VERY difficult to seal offers full acess to door width typically used in storage situations variation=accordion door which has many small leaves typically used as space dividers
36
flush doors
composed of a solid framework of wood rails & stiles that is covered with a plywood veneer for a smooth consistent finish
37
panel doors or rail-and stile-doors
a door composed of a solid framework of wood rails and stiles that is infilled with a series of wood, glass or louvered panels COMES IN MANY STYLES
38
what is the typical heights of a door
6'8" 7' 8'
39
what are the typical styles of the doors used in single family residences?
swinging bypass sliding surface sliding pocket sliding folding flush doors panel doors rail-and-stile doors
40
wood windows positives
warmth and beauty of materila relatively high R-value
41
wood windows negatives
high maintenance: swelling, decay, termites, painting typically need to be clad on the outside potential negative of the framing needing a much thicker profile more expensive than other options
42
steel windows positives
can provide very narrow profiles great durability for high impact situations
43
steel windows negatives
low R-value but better than alluminum corrosion issues -HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN MAY SITUATION BY ALLUMINUM WINDOWS-
44
vinyl window positives
very low maintenace high R-value relatively inexpensivev
45
vinyl window negatives
can expand and contract quite a bit generally seen as a less attractive option like wood can have a relatively thick profile
46
aluminum windows positive
very low maintnance no shrinkage or swelling relatively inexpensive relatively easy to install due to snap together parts
47
aluminum windows negatives
low R-values typically neutral aesthetically
48
what is the makeup of a wood window
head mounting fin jamb sill stool (interior finished sill) mullion
49
sustainable considerations to be taken into account when choosing + installing windows?
1- reduce air leakage b/t windows and rough openings 2- reduce heat conduction/thermal bridging 3- locate and size windows appropriately
50
hallow core door:
core of honeycomb or corrugated fiberboard or the like lightweight INTERIOR USE
51
solid core door:
core of bonded lumber blocks, particle board, or material composition panel
52
solid and hallow core doors are considered to be categorized as
FLUSH WOOD DOORS
53
panel doors are constructed how
panel door= no core a frame of rails and stiles infilled with solid wood, plywood, glass, or louvered panels construction also includes the fixing of the panels to the rails and stiles
54
sustainable considerations to be taken into account when choosing and installing doors
1- reduce air leakage +moisture infiltration w/weather stripping 2 - reduce heat conduction/thermal bridging
55
how is a wood door installed??
head exterior casing interior casing jamb sill or threshold DOOR FRAME CAN BE CONFIGURED WITH A RABBITED CONDITION W/APPLIED STOP OR W/NO STOP
56
flat glass
sheets, plats, or float = typically flat sheet glasst
57
tempered glass
annealed glass that is reneated and rapidly cooled to strengthen- break into harmless pieces
58
laminated or safety glass
layers of resin that holds the glass together if broken
59
wired glass
flat glass embedded with a wire mest to prevent shattering due to heat
60
patterned glass
glass with a pattern formed in the rolling process to obscure or diffuse light
61
obscure glass
glass that is sandblasted or arid etched on one or both sides to obscure vision
62
what is types of glass exist
flat glass tempered glass laminated or safety glass wired glass patterned glass obscure glass
63
what is glass
a chemically inert substance produced by fusing SILICA and other materials into a mass that cools to a rigid condition without crystallizing
64
solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC)
the amoung to solar radiation tha a window will transit LOWER IS BETTER
65
u-factor
the designation for the ability of the window to TRANSFTER HEAT - an inverse factor of R-value of a given material (resistance to transferring heat)
66
visible transmittance
the measurement of how much light comes through the glass - the higher the # the more light that is transmitted the BETTER IT CAN BE SEEN THROUGH
67
air leakage
the amount of air that lack through assembly
68
What are the energy performance characteristic of glass
u-factor SHGC visible transmittance air leakage
69
what types of glass are made to be mor energy efficient?
insulating glass tinted glass reflective glass low-emissivity glass (LOW-E GLASS)
