ASHRAE BCXP CERT TEST - FALL 2025 QUESTIONS ANSWERED CORRECTLY
Air-conditioning - Answers the process of treating air to meet the requirements of a
conditioned space by controlling its temperature, humidity,
cleanliness, and distribution
Approach - Answers (1) in a water cooling tower or evaporative cooling device,
the difference between the average temperature of the
circulating water leaving the device and the average wet-bulb
temperature of the entering air. (2) in heat exchangers,
the temperature difference between the leaving fluids
Basis of design
(BOD) - Answers a document that records the concepts, calculations,
decisions, and product selections used to meet the owner's
project requirements (OPR) and to satisfy applicable
regulatory requirements, standards, and guidelines; the
document includes both narrative descriptions and lists of
individual items that support the design process
Building
automation system
(BAS) - Answers an energy management system, usually with additional
capabilities, relating to the overall operation of the building in
which it is installed, such as equipment monitoring,
protection of equipment against power failure, and building
security
Capacity - Answers (1) measure of the maximum amount of energy or material
that may be stored in a given system; See also nameplate
,rating; air-conditioning capacity. (2) the rate of heat removal
by the refrigerant used in the compressor or condensing unit
in a refrigerating system. This rate equals the product of the
refrigerant mass flow rate and the difference in the specific
enthalpies of the refrigerant vapor at its thermodynamic
state entering the compressor or condensing unit and
refrigerant liquid at the thermodynamic state entering the
mass flow control device. (3) the rate that heat is removed
or added to a system. (4) maximum load for which a
machine, apparatus, device, or system is designed or
constructed
Coefficient of
performance
(COP) - Answers (1) ratio of the rate of net heat output to the total energy
input expressed in consistent units and under designated
rating conditions, (2) ratio of the refrigerating capacity to the
work absorbed by the compressor per unit time
Commissioning
plan - Answers a document that outlines the organization, goals, schedule,
allocation of resources, and documentation requirements of
the commissioning process
Commissioning
process - Answers a quality-focused process for enhancing the delivery of a
project. The process focuses upon verifying and
documenting that the facility and all of its systems and
, assemblies are planned, designed, installed, tested,
operated, and maintained to meet the Owner's Project
Requirements (OPR)
Commissioning
team - Answers the individuals who, through coordinated actions, are
responsible for implementing the commissioning process
Construction
checklist - Answers a form used by the contractor to verify that appropriate
components are onsite, ready for installation, correctly
installed, and functional
Current facility
requirements
(CFR) - Answers a written document in which the Owner details the current
functional requirements of a facility and the expectations of
how it should be used and operated. This may include
goals, measurable performance criteria, cost considerations,
benchmarks, success criteria, and supporting information to
meet the requirements of occupants, users, and Owner(s) of
the facility
Dew-point
temperature - Answers temperature of moist air saturated at pressure p, with the
same humidity ratio W as that of the given sample of moist
air. It is defined as the solution td(p, W) of the
equation: Ws(p, td) = W
