C3-KS43

Question 1

Best Energy Management Practices include:

Answer 1

• Proper solar orientation
• Overhangs
• Natural ventilation
• Energy efficient lighting
• Energy efficient mechanical equipment
• Moisture control
• Use of proper insulation in walls and ceilings

Question 2

Main purpose for Proper solar orientation

Answer 2

Maximize the use of daylighting

Question 3

Main purpose for properly sized Overhangs

Answer 3

• Keep sun out in summer, let sun in winter

- Sun lower in the winter higher in the summer

Question 4

Methods for incorporating Natural ventilation into a project include:

Answer 4

• Operable windows

- Site for prevailing winds

Question 5

Methods for using Energy efficient lighting include:

Answer 5

• Compact fluorescent
• LEDs
• Sensors in bathrooms
• Use of daylight

Question 6

Considerations for Energy efficient mechanical equipment include:

Answer 6

• Properly sized

- Ducts properly sealed

Question 7

Considerations for Moisture control include:

Answer 7

• Properly control moisture in wet rooms (kitchen, laundry, rest rooms, locker rooms)
• Exhaust fans

Question 8

Use of proper insulation in walls and ceilings

Answer 8

Verify insulation properly installed to achieve tight exterior building envelope (third party verification)

Question 9

Comfort control - There are 3 main comfort control areas to be concerned with.

Answer 9

1. Internal air temperature — maintain the proper temperature for the intended use and occupant load through occupancy sensors, zoning, and thermostatic controls.
2. Internal lighting levels and daylighting levels - maintain the proper lighting levels for the intended use and occupant load through the use of daylight sensors, occupancy sensors, and dimmable controls.
3. Noise controls — utilize proper acoustical design for auditoriums, libraries, and classrooms, etc.

Also properly control noise between loud and quiet spaces through the use of separation/isolation, metal furring strips, soundboard, acoustical tiles, insulation.
