AVIXA CTS-D: Structural and Mechanical
Considerations Exam Questions and
Answers
EMP - Energy Management Plan - Correct Answers -Identifies Energy Reduction Points
EMM - Energy Management Manager - Correct Answers -A role that provides
leadership and management of the system
Wiring Diagram in terms of Energy management - Correct Answers -illustrates how
power to AV components is controlled and monitored and how the energy management
system is connected to the AV system
Poured Pan ceiling - Correct Answers -Waffle looking concrete
Post-tension construction - Correct Answers -smooth concrete ceiling/floor that has high
tension cables running through it for support.
Shear - Correct Answers -How likely the wall and the mounting are to become
separated. It is measured by how much weight is necessary to break the mounting from
the wall.
Tensile strength - Correct Answers -The maximum amount of tension, or pulling apart,
the hardware can withstand before it fails.
Pull-out- The pounds of force needed to pull a fastener from the wall.
Placement of bolts - Correct Answers -Bolts placed in the top of the mounting carry
more stress than bolts placed lower. The placement should be done according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Visual Display in terms of Energy Management - Correct Answers -Shows users and
management the continuous power usage of the AV system
Use of Automated Devices and Power-State Changes in terms of energy management -
Correct Answers -Ensure the AV system is energy-efficient
, Method for Continuous Power Measurement - Correct Answers -Collect power
consumption data
End-user Operation Training - Correct Answers -leads to understanding, participation,
and behavior modification
Tree ideas to the energy management standard - Correct Answers -Data collection,
automation, education and training
How many requirements are there in the ANSI/INFOCOMM 4 :2012 Energy
management standard - Correct Answers -7
How many design considerations are needed to achieve the ANSI/INFOCOMM 4 :2012
Energy management standard - Correct Answers -21
Wet Systems - Correct Answers -fire protection systems that use water that is always
under pressur
Dry Systems - Correct Answers -do not have water constantly present in the system
and are pressurized by the fire department in the event of a fire.
Chemical Systems - Correct Answers -Replace the room air with fire inhibiting gas, such
as halon, CO2, or halocarbon agents (that contain chlorine, fluorine, or iodine either
individually or in some combination).
Inert Gas Systems - Correct Answers -Designed to reduce the ambient oxygen
concentration in a protected space to between 10 -14%, a level that is breathable but
will not support flaming combustion. These systems use inert gases such as argon and
nitrogen, either as mixtures or alone.
What to do when firestop is in your path. - Correct Answers -Scrape off as little firestop
as necessary, and make sure you replace it immediately.
HVAC system basic functionality - Correct Answers -1. Extract heat to and from the
environment.
2. Extract heat to and from the conditioned spaces.
3. Move air throughout the conditioned spaces.
HVAC Background noise sources - Correct Answers -Fans
Diffusers
Ducts
Vibration - Correct Answers -Another source of noise that can be caused by HVAC
systems
