Green Building - (answers)The practice of creating buildings by using processes
that are environmentally responsible throughout a building's life-cycle from siting
to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation and deconstruction.
Indoor climate control plays a critical role on: - (answers)- energy consumption
- GHG emissions
- total and peak electricity demand
- need for new energy infrastructure
- grid stability, reliability, and resilience
Indoor climate plays an important role on: - (answers)- occupant comfort & health
- tenant satisfaction
- workplace productivity
Indoor Air Quality Strategies (3) - (answers)Ventilate, Filter, Purify/clean (UV)
IAQ Operation Guidelines - (answers)40-60% RH, disable DCV, disable HRV/ERV
, 2
1:10:100 Building Costs - (answers)1 - energy costs
10 - rent
100 - salaries
Green building primary attributes - (answers)- energy efficiency
- indoor environmental quality (IAQ, thermal, acoustic, visual)
Green building secondary attributes - (answers)- site
- water
Prescriptive path - (answers)providing exact amounts to follow
Performance path - (answers)demonstrates a performance requirement defined
by a code, more flexible design options
IEQ standard development - (answers)laboratory experimentation, comfort
surveys and field measurements
Primary weather metrics - (answers)dry-bulb temperature, humidity, wind
direction and speed, solar radiation, also consider timing
Dry-bulb temperature - (answers)measured with a thermometer, commonly
called air temp, most commonly used metric, effects heat exchange of a building
, 3
Humidity - (answers)- affects building performance: degradation, comfort, energy
to humidify (winter) or dehumidify (summer)
- measured in relative humidity or humidity ratio
Wind speed and direction - (answers)can help or hinder building performance
affects: infiltration, natural ventilation, wind-driven rain, convective heat transfer
(building to body)
Wind Direction Naming - (answers)wind is named from the direction of origin,
west wind is from the west
Weather vs Climate - (answers)weather: short-term atmospheric conditions
climate: long-term trends of typical weather conditions
ASHRAE Climate Zones - (answers)A: Dry
B: Moist
C: Marine
Typical meteorological year - (answers)stitching hourly weather data for the
median month over multiple years, median month is from whatever year out of
the data set, ex: Jan 1995, Feb 2001, etc.
