Part 2 Flashcards
_________________ has been used in building having more than 4 stories.
Elevator
Types of Elevators
o virtual limitless rise (high & mid-rise)
o high speeds but high installation cost
Traction ( Electrical)
TYPES OF ELEVATORS
o limited to heights of about 60 ft (6 stories)
o lower speeds
o lower initial cost-higher power consumption
Hydraulic
______________ is the system of pipes, drains, fittings, valves, and fixtures installed for the distribution of potable water for drinking, heating and washing, and waterborne waste removal. “____________” also refers to the skilled trade which installs and maintains it.
Plumbing 2X
The _____________industry is a basic and substantial part of every developed economy. “Plumbing” often denotes the supply and waste system of an ___________ building, distinguishing it from water supply and sewage systems that serve a group of buildings.
plumbing, individual
The plumbing system is really made up of two systems:
o The ______________ that brings in freshwater; and
o The ______________________ that takes out used water and sewage
supply system
drain-waste-vent system
The ___________________ system also lets air in and waste gases out. Between these two systems are the fixtures (sinks, tubs, toilets, and so on).
drain-waste-vent
The major categories of plumbing systems or subsystems are:
o potable cold and hot tap water supply
o plumbing drainage venting sewage systems and septic systems with or without hot water heat recycling and
o graywater recovery and treatment systems
o rainwater, surface, and subsurface water drainage
o fuel gas piping
o hydroponics, ie heating and cooling systems utilizing water to transport thermal energy

Building Facilities
An exothermic reaction resulting from a combination of heat fuel and oxygen.
Fire
Fire involves rapid ____________ at high temperatures accompanied by the evolution of highly heated gaseous products of combustion and emission of visible and invisible radiation.
oxidation
The initiation of fire requires combustible materials, oxygen, and an energy source (heat) to provide ignition. Three components - _______,___________,________are referred to as the fire triangle.
oxygen, fuel, heat
________________ is the study and practice of mitigating the unwanted effects of potentially destructive fires. It involves the study of the behavior, compartmentalization, suppression, and investigation of fire and its related emergencies, as well as the research and development, production, testing, and application of mitigating systems
Fire Protection
Fire protection in land-based buildings, offshore construction, or onboard ships is typically achieved via all of the following:
the installation of firewalls and fire-rated floor assemblies to form fire compartments intended to limit the spread of fire, high temperatures, and smoke.
Passive Fire Protection
Fire protection in land-based buildings, offshore construction, or onboard ships is typically achieved via all of the following:
manual and automatic detection and suppression of fires, such as fire sprinkler systems and (fire alarm) systems.
Active fire protection
Fire protection in land-based buildings, offshore construction, or onboard ships is typically achieved via all of the following:
The provision of information regarding passive and active fire protection systems to building owners, operators, occupants, and emergency personnel so that they have a working understanding of the intent of these systems and how they perform in the fire safety plan.
