PPD - ARE 5.0 (NCARB) EXAM
2025 |GUARANTEED ACCURATE
ANSWERS |COMPLETE STUDY SET
Annalemma - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The figure 8 curve that
represents the angular offset of the sun from its mean position at as
viewed from the earth
Balance Point Temperature - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The outdoor
temperature at which a building makes the transition from a heating to a
cooling need
Daylight autonomy - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The percentage of an
area that meets a minimum daylight illuminance level or specified
fraction of the operating hours per year. Also referred to as special
daylight autonomy
Daylight factor - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The ratio expressed as a
percentage othe indoor aluminates at a point on a horizontal surface to
the unobstructed Exterior horizontal illuminance
Effective aperature - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The product of
visible transmittance and the window to wall ratio
,Equation of time - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The factor used to
account for the difference between solar time and clock time. Solar time
is based on the position of the sun. It's basic unit is the solar day
Glazing factor - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A LEED based number
calculated by taking into account window area, floor area, a window
geometry factor, light transmission, and a window height factor.
Ground light - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Visible light from the sun
and sky, reflected by exterior surfaces below the plane of the horizon
Light shelf - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A horizontal element position
above eye level and designed to reflect daylight on the ceiling for
improved daylighting effectiveness
Net metering - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The requirement that a
utility pay and charge equal rates regardless of which way electricity
flows as a part of the utility Grid.
Radiation spectrum - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The entire range of
electromagnetic radiation extending from 0 hz to 1023 hz. This includes
visible light as well as infrared radiation, radio waves, and gamma rays
among others

,Radiative cooling - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Passive or active
design strategy that uses thermal mass to collect and store heat during
the day for release at night. Also known as nocturnal cooling and night
cooled mass
Shading coefficient - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The ratio of the solar
heat gain thru a glazing product to the solar heat gain through an
untreated 1/8 in clear double strength glass under the same set of
conditions. This is the value for the glass only, does not include the
frame
Solar constant - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The amount of solar
energy that falls in our unit time on her unit area that is 93,000,000 miles
from the sun and orientated on a plane perpendicular to the suns rays.
The mean value of the solar constant is 433 btu/hr-ft
Solar heat gain coefficient - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The ratio of
the solar heat gain thru a fenestration to the total solar radiation incident
on the glazing.
Solar time - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The time as defined by the
sun and it's position relative to the earth. Because the length of the solar
day varies most reference the mean solar day as a basis for timekeeping.

, Solar savings fraction - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The fraction of the
total energy used by system that is provided by solar technology.
Represented by the variable F, it is a decimal fraction from 0 to 1
Visible light transmittance - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The fraction
of visible light that passes through a glazing material
Window to wall ratio - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The ratio of the net
glazing area in your room or space to the gross exterior wall area
Work plane - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ This assumed height at
which work is performed usually considered to be at a desk height, 30
inches above the floor
Co product - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A marketable byproduct from
a process. Materials traditionally considered to be waist but they can be
repurposed as raw materials and a different manufacturing process.
Demand control ventilation - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A system
designed to adjust the amount of ventilation air provided to a space
based on the extent of occupancy. The system normally uses some type
of sensors
Detention - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ The temporary storage of
storm run off and the detention facility to control Pete's discharge rates
