Topic 4 Flashcards
A physical separator between the exterior and the interior of the building and fenestration system.
Building Envelope
Is comprise of the occupants, furnishings, building materials, lighting, machinery, equipment, and the HVAC.
Internal Environment
This includes the walls, roofs, slabs on grade, basement walls, and opaque doors.
Opaque Components
This includes the windows, skylights, ventilators, and doors that are no more than one-half glazed.
Fenestration Systems
A function of building envelope that ensures strength and rigidity.
Support
A function of building envelope to control the exchange of water, air, condensation and heat between the interior and exterior building.
Control
A function of building envelope that is for aesthetic purposes.
Finish
The components of building envelope that comprise the foundation, wall assembly, roofing systems, glazing, doors, and any other penetrations.
Physical Components
The structural component that transmits the loads from the building to the underlying substrate.
Foundation
The foundation must also be designed to control the transfer of _________ and __________ into the interior space.
moisture, thermal energy
Consists of a system of components that fulfill the support, control, and finish the function of the building envelope.
Wall Assembly
It keeps the weather out of a house. On the outside, it consists of shingles.
Roof System
Refers to the panels in windows, doors, and skylights.
Glazing
Tend to be the biggest holes in the envelope.
Doors
A line established by two separate points in space. Defines the points at which shape and spaces can be set in an asymmetrical and a balanced way.
Axis
A line established by two separate points in space. Defines the points at which shape and spaces can be set in an asymmetrical and a balanced way.
Axis
The balanced division and collection of all equivalent forms and spaces on also sides of the separating plane or regarding its center axis.
Symmetry
Articulates the importance and significance of a shape or space by the assist of its size shape as well as placement
Hierarchy
A unifying movement that is characterized by a patterned repetition it an alteration of the formal elements.
Rhythm
Defines a line plane or volume that serves together, measure, as well as organize a pattern of form and spaces.
Datum
The principal of retaining an architectural design idea or association and strengthening as well as building it through a sequence of discrete transformation.
Transformation
An interior wall or partition used to subdivide one space from one another or from the common spaces
Demising Wall
Connecting the top of an exterior wall to a projecting eave.
Soffit
When the overall R - value is lower than the insulation’s R - value.
Thermal bridging
The transfer of heat by direct contact of particles of matter within a material or materials in physical contact.
Conduction
The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
Convection
The movement of energy/heat through space without relying on conduction through the air or by movement of air
Radiation
High thermal resistance equals to ______.
High R - value
High resistance equals to low ________ and high ________.
emissivity, reflectance
These materials resist conduction and can be either inorganic or organic
Fibrous or cellular products
These materials blocks radiation heat transfer and must face airspace to be effective.
Metallic
