CEA Unit 2 Exam Questions and
Answers
Stud - -The vertical framing member in frame wall construction.
- Insulation - -Material used to restrict the flow of heat, cold, or sound from
one surface to another
- Sheathing - -A covering placed over exterior studs or rafters that serve as
a base below the exterior finish materials.
- Concrete - -A solid, hard material produced by combining Portland cement,
aggregates, sand, water and sometimes additional mixtures.
- Rebar - -Steel bar used to reinforce concrete.
- Rafter - -Member of a roof structural frame that supports the sheathing
and other roof loads.
- Square (Quantity of Shingles) - -In roofing, 100 square feet of roofing
material.
- Fascia - -The finish board covering the edges of rafters and eaves.
- R-Value - -The numerical value used to indicate the resistance to the flow
of heat.
- Heat Loss - -The energy needed to warm outside air leaking into a building
through cracks around doors, windows, and other areas.
- U-Factor - -A measure of the heat transmission through a building part (as
a wall or window) or a given thickness of a material (as insulation) with lower
numbers indicating better insulating properties.
- Transmission Load - -Heat loss/gain resulting from the conduction of heat
through the building envelope.
- Design Temperature Differential - -The difference between the indoor
temperature in winter and the outdoor design temperature in winter. The
design temperature differential or design range is used in calculating the
space heating requirements of a dwelling unit under the engineering-based
methodology.
