Q

ꟷis light that has been reflected or
refracted by clouds, glazing, or other
objects.
ꟷLess intense than direct and reflected
light and typically results in less glare.

A

diffuse light

20
Q

a measure of how easily heat travels through an assembly of materials

A

Overall Coefficient Of Heat Transfer (U)

21
Q

Thermal insulating ability is also measured by the thermal __________ (R): a higher R factor indicates a ______ insulating performance.

A

resistance, better

22
Q

The R factor is the inverse of the ___ factor

A

U

23
Q

• the fraction of solar heat that is transmitted through the glazing and ultimately becomes heat.

A

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)

24
Q

In general, _____________ windows in buildings designed for passive solar heating should have windows with a high SHGC to allow in beneficial solar heat gain in the winter.

• _______________-facing windows that receive undesirable direct sunlight in mornings and afternoons should have lower SHGC assemblies.

A

south facing, east-west

25
Q

is the percentage of visible light (light in the 380 to 720 nm range) that is transmitted through the glazing.

A

Visible transmittance

26
Q

Light-to-solar Gain Ratio (LSG)

A

is the ratio between SHGC and VT of a single glazing.
• It provides a gauge of the relative efficiency of different glazing types in TRANSMITTING DAYLIGHT WHILE BLOCKING HEAT GAINS
• The higher the LSG ratio the brighter the room is without adding unnecessary amounts of solar heat.

27
Q

in glazing materials, ______ is used for the outer sheet, where it can provide considerable protection to the plastic, while the inner plastic sheet protects against glass breakage.
▪ Ordinary window glass strongly absorbs the damaging UV portion of sunlight, so a
plastic material will survive longer if it is installed inside glass.

A

glass

28
Q

must be designed to provide illumination in areas where it is most needed and to do so without adversely affecting occupant comfort.

A

daylighting systems

29
Q

The main functions of _______ are
to bring in daylight and fresh air (if
windows are operable) and
introduce a view of the outdoors.

A

windows

30
Q

is a design term that describes
WINDOW size, arrangement, and
glazing type (the glass and
coatings used in the window).
ꟷ it affects daylighting, passive solar
heating, space cooling, and
natural ventilation.

A

fenestration

31
Q

is a fenestration arrangement in an upper story wall
that extends above one roof surface; it introduces
daylight into the ceiling area of the space.

A

clerestory window system

32
Q

________ is an interior courtyard covered with
glazing. Rooms and spaces 8 adjoining the ______
receive daylight entering through the glazed roof.

A

atrium x2

33
Q

are effective daylighting strategies because they introduce daylighting deep into a structure.

A

atrium and clerestories

34
Q

In cold climates in the northern hemisphere, the low position of the sun produces a shallow angle and a ________ that contributes to space heating.

A

heat gain

35
Q

a slanted south-facing window surface should be avoided because it gains heat all year long and is particularly poor at limiting solar heat gains in the summer.

A

fun fact

fun?

36
Q

is a transparent panel located in a ROOF OPENING that allows direct and diffuse sunlight into the building.
- are commonly made from glass, glass composites, plastics, and plastic composites.

A

skylightS

37
Q

is a type of skylight system that is a raised, typically triangular shaped, extension of a
roof and that has at least one glazed surface.
- provide large quantities of reflected and diffuse light into the interior of the building.

A

roof monitor

38
Q

_____________ can be a favorable application of skylights

A

warehousing

39
Q

is a PASSIVE (non-mechanical) architectural
element or mechanism that allows sunlight
to enter DEEP into a building.
ꟷ may be located on the interior or exterior
of the building envelope.
ꟷ Exterior light shelves may also function as
____________ that shade the window from the
high summer sun.
ꟷ Properly designed light shelves allow
daylight to penetrate the interior of the
space up to 21⁄2 times the distance
between the floor and the top of the
window.

A

reflective light shelveS, overhangs

40
Q

Most commercially available _________
consist of an _______, roof-mounted
transparent dome, a reflecting _________, and a diffuser for installation at the
ceiling level of the space.
ꟷ It can pass through attic spaces much
more easily.
ꟷ Flexible pipes are easier to install, but
they suffer more light loss from
increased light absorption from reflection
and scatter on the inside surface of the
pipe wall.

A

light pipeS, exterior, metal pipe

41
Q

ꟷis a type of light pipe that has a
movable mirror or light-refracting
system and that can be used to align
the incoming sunlight with the axis of
the light pipe, thereby minimizing
reflection losses.
ꟷThe light reflecting apparatus gets in
the way of the whole sky when the sun
is obscured. Another disadvantage is
the need for occasional maintenance.

A

sun tracking light pipe

42
Q

Translucent __________________ can be used to introduce daylight through the ROOF ITSELF.
ꟷ The main use for fabric structures has been for sports stadiums, shopping malls, harbors, and airports (Denver International Airport).
ꟷ Fabric structures may be divided into two categories: tension and air supported.

A

fabric roof membranes

43
Q

A fabric roof membrane that use a
membrane, supported by air pressure, to act as the roof and walls of the structure

A

air-supported structures

44
Q

ꟷPolyvinyl chloride-polyester and
Teflon-coated
