A
  • Consumption
  • Demand
37
Q

What is the basis of a consumption charge?

A

The total amount of electricity used during the monthly period

38
Q

How do most companies calculate demand?

A

By measuring the electricity being used during any fifteen minute interval during the monthly billing period

39
Q

Which EMS program minimizes HVAC operating time by calculating how to achieve occupancy temperature at the start of the day?

A

Optimum Start

40
Q

What is the purpose of an optimum stop program for an EMS?

A

To minimize HVAC operating time by calculating how long stored energy can maintain occupancy temperature at the end of the day

41
Q

How do night cycle programs maintain temperature limits during periods when the facility is unoccupied

A

By closing outside dampers and cycling ai r handling units

42
Q

What does a night purge program use to pre cool the building before the mechanical system is turned on?

A

Cool night outside air

43
Q

Which program ensures that only the minimum amount of cooling or heating is used?

A

Load reset

44
Q

Describe how a zero energy band program works in an EMS

A

It creates a dead band where neither heating or cooling is used

45
Q

Lighting may account for up to what percent of the electrical operating costs in a commercial building?

A

Forty percent

46
Q

Name two advantages associated with using low voltage timers for a lighting control system

A
  • Safer than high voltage timers
  • More cost effective than high voltage timers
47
Q

What is one of the simplest forms of lighting control

A

Fixed power reduction

48
Q

What is an important safety consideration when using occupancy based lighting control?

A

Should be easily controlled in entry and exit areas after work hours

49
Q

Why do vacancy sensors save more energy than occupancy sensors?

A

Because occupants determine when lighting is needed

50
Q

Where is daylight harvesting typically used?

A

In new buildings

51
Q

What is an advantage of using demand limiting

A

Provides a kilowatt reduction directionally proportional to amount of lights dimmed and is unnoticeable by occupants

52
Q

What is the objective of BAS?

A

To centralize and simplify building monitoring, control, operation and management

53
Q

Name the three hierarchical levels of microprocessor based BAS controllers

A
  • Field level controllers
  • System level controllers
  • Management level processors
54
Q

Why are field level controllers networked on a bus?

A

So information can be shared with processors at the system and management levels

55
Q

How do system level controllers respond if the communications bus is lost?

A

The controller will operate in standalone mode to provide system survivability

Q

What does BAS software determine?

A
  • How the data interaction takes place
  • How the data is displayed
  • How printer output is formatted
58
Q

Why are communications protocols an essential element of BAS configuration?

A

~ 23 sqm (248 sqft)

67
Q

What is the typical size of a coverage area in a commercial indoor parking area?

A

One coverage area every 50sq m (538sqft)

68
Q

What is the typical size of a coverage area in a mechanical room?

A

One cover area every 5sq m (54sqft)

69
Q

What is the purpose of an HCP?

A

To allow a coverage area connections to be reconfigured

70
Q

How many HCPs should be placed in a horizontal link?

A

No more than one

True

72
Q

How many links should an HCP serve?

A

A maximum of twelve

73
Q

Should BAS signals share the same horizontal cable as telecommunications signals?

A

No, they should not share the same cable

74
Q

Can BAS and telecom signals share the same backbone cable?

A

Yes, but should not be in the same binder in a multipair cable

75
Q

Name three factors that are used to calculate BAS backbone distribution system requirements

A
  • Number of pairs required for each device or branch
  • Number of systems to be integrated with a minimum of one binder group for each system
