BPI Building Analyst Exam
3 Elements required Fuel, Oxygen, Heat
for combustion
3 Forms of Heat Convection, Conduction, Radiation
Transfer
Length of time that a combustion appliance
5 minutes
should run to achieve"Steady State Efficiency"
Amount of permissible time after ignition that
60 Seconds
spillage is allowable from the flue.
AFUE Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency
AFUE (Annual Fuel Efficiency of unit in operation (with
Utilization Efficiency) starts/stops) UNIT ONLY
Backdrafting Continuous Spillage
Boiler Used in hydronic and steam systems
Calculating BAS 1) Calculate BAS based on Volume, then 2)
(Building Airflow calculate based on Occupancy, then 3) Take
Standard) the higher of the two standards
