2 Exam 3 Study Guide
1. Zero Buildings that combine energy efficiency and
Energy renewable energy generation to consume only as
Building much energy as can be produced onsite through
renewable resources over a specified time period.
2. Passive House A building that comprises a set of design
principles used to attain a quantifiable and
rigorous level of energy efficiency within a
specific quantifiable comfort level.
3. Blower Door Test Used on buildings to quantify the amount of air
leakage through its enclosure.
4. Condensation The change of the physical state of matter from
the gas phase into the liquid phase, and is the
reverse of vapor- ization.
5. Dew Point The temperature to which the air needs to cool
down to in order to become completely
saturated or reach 100 percent relative
humidity.
6. Enthalpy The amount of energy or heat content embodied
in a
system.
7. Volumetric The amount of fluid (air) which passes per unit
Flow Rate time.
8. Air Changes per
Hour A measure of the air volume added to or
removed from a space in one hour.
9. Psychrometric
Chart A graphical representation of the physical and
thermal properties of atmospheric air for a
particular barometric pressure.
10. Friction Loss The decrease in air pressure due to the friction
of the air moving through a duct.
