Question 16

U-value is

Answer 16

The conductance of the assembly

Question 17

The change in temperature, ΔT =

Answer 17

Difference between outside and inside air temperature

Question 18

R-value is better the larger or smaller?

Answer 18

Larger

Question 19

How to find the U-value:

Answer 19

Find the R-value of each component and add them together, then calculating 1 / total R-value

Question 20

When HVAC systems exhaust more hair than they take in,

Answer 20

It can result in negative pressurization inside the building.

Question 21

Ideally the air pressure in a building should be:

Answer 21

Equal to or slightly positive to the air pressure outside the building.

Negative pressure can cause cold draft and noxious odors coming in through cracks in openings.

Question 22

When warm air rises and goes out the top, pulling in cooler air at lower levels through cracks in openings this is an example of:

Answer 22

Stack effect

Question 23

Building success depends on:

Answer 23

How comfortable people are inside, and how affordable it is for them to be that way.

Question 24

Tool used to identify drafts and air leaks

Answer 24

Smoke pencil you lie | Pull the trigger and see how smoke moves to show air movement

Question 25

Electric air cleaner operation:

Answer 25

High-voltage of static charge are applied to dust which is then attracted to oppositely charged plates on the cleaner.

Question 26

What process has been widely used to identify "at risk areas" for radon?

Answer 26

Geological mapping

Question 31

This filter is more costly upfront, the produces less air movement as two sets of charged plates attract dust. Or cleaned by washing off.

Answer 31

Electrostatic filter's

Question 32

This filter is for gaseous removal and very depending on pollutant.
