BPI EXAM 2024
ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS IN THIS SECTION
QUESTION 1
Heating Degree Days - ANSWERS-The number of degrees that a day's average
temperature is below 65o Fahrenheit (18o Celsius), which is the temperature below
which buildings need to be heated
QUESTION 2
Adding total HDDs or CDDs help us compare heating and cooling requirements
for different geographic locations
QUESTION 3
Outdoor Design Temperature - ANSWERS-The temperature at which an HVAC
system is designed to operate and maintain the temperature 99% of the time
QUESTION 4
Cooling Degree Days - ANSWERS-A cooling degree day (CDD) is a measurement
designed to quantify the demand for energy needed to cool a building. It is the
number of degrees that a day's average temperature is above 65o Fahrenheit (18o
Celsius), which is the temperature above which buildings need to be cooled.

QUESTION 5
Convection - ANSWERS-The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid or gas.
From one area to another. Energy waste. Due to temperature gradients
QUESTION 6
Conduction - ANSWERS-Heat transfer through a solid. Most insulations designed
to block heat transfer by conduction. Heat tranfers from hot to cold by conduction
until equilibrium
QUESTION 7
Radiation - ANSWERS-The direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
without a medium
