BPI BUILDING ANALYST EXAM WITH
CORRECT ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
CORRECTLY WELL DEFINED ANSWERS
LATEST 2025-2026 ALREADY GRADED A+
Watt - ANSWERS-A unit of electrical power equivalent to one joule
per second or 3.4 Btuh.
Watt-hour - ANSWERS-A unit of electrical energy equivalent to 3600
joules or 3.4 Btus.
Weatherization - ANSWERS-The process of reducing energy
consumption and increasing comfort in buildings by improving energy
efficiency of the building.
Weatherstripping - ANSWERS-Flexible gaskets, often mounted
, Energy efficiency ratio (EER) - ANSWERS-A measurement of energy
efficiency for air conditioners. The EER is computed by dividing
cooling capacity, measured in British Thermal Units per hour (Btuh),
by the watts of power.
Air conditioning - ANSWERS-Cooling buildings with a refrigeration
system. More generally means both heating and cooling.
Air exchange - ANSWERS-The total building air exchanged with the
outdoors through air leakage and ventilation.
Air handler - ANSWERS-A steel cabinet containing a blower with
cooling and/or heating coils connected to ducts.
Asbestos - ANSWERS-A material made of brittle mineral fibers that
damage lungs and other bodily tissues.
Annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) - ANSWERS-A laboratory-
derived efficiency rating for heating appliances which accounts for
chimney losses, jacket losses, and cycling losses.
Annual return - ANSWERS-The yearly savings divided by the initial
cost needed to achieve the savings, expressed as a percent.
