| Question | Answer |
| Definition for sustainability is | To meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs |
| Relative sustainable goals are: Absolute sustainable goals are: | improving over current best-practices the end goal and how we get there |
| 2030 Challenge goals are: | all new buildings carbon neutral rebuild 3% of existing buildings until 2080+ |
| LEED was created to: | defined what a green building was recognize environmental leadership in the industry stimulate competition |
| The 6 LEED categories: (sub categories are Prerequisites and Credits) | 1. Sustainable sites 2. Water efficiencies 3. Energy and atmosphere 4. Materials and resources 5. Indoor environmental quality 6. Innovation in design |
| Name 2 prerequisites or credits for: 1. Sustainable sites 2. Water efficiencies 3. Energy and atmosphere | 1. Access to public transit Light pollution reduction 2. Water use reduction Water efficient landscaping 3. Green power Minimum energy performance |
| Name 2 prerequisites or credits for: 4. Materials and Resources 5. Indoor environmental quality 6. Innovation in design | 4. Certified wood Storage and collection of recyclables 5. Indoor air quality Daylight and views 6. Green cleaning program Exemplary construction waste managment |
| The 7 Petals of Living Building Challenge (LBC) are: | 1. Place 2. Water 3. Energy 4. Health and Happiness 5. Materials 6. Equity 7. Beauty |
| What is the difference between LBC and LEED? | LEED builds sustainably, and outlines better ways to build or rebuild. LBC is about repairing damage (regenerative). LBC = more requirements. LBC is quantified! Net 0 water and Net 0 energy. |
| What are units of energy? | Joules or Kilowatt hours (kwh) |
| What are BIM models? | Computer modelling software that allows multiple systems to be shown in the same model. Passed down from discipline to discipline. - Reduces change orders (less material waste) and more productive. Also saves converting from one software to another. |
| Masterformat | A list of construction specifications. Used for cost estimates, and for contractors to bid on a project. Divides |
| What are the differences between Part 3 and Part 9 in the OBC? | Part 3 is for buildings over 600m2, is less prescriptive and more appropriate for Arch/Eng Part 9 is for buildings under 600m2, is more prescriptive and appropriate for contractors |
| What is the difference between compliance (packages) and performance paths? | Compliance packages meet the minimum. Performance paths aim at creating something beyond the requirements (e.g higher R-value than the minimum). |
| HDD calculation | Take an average of the days high and low temperatures and subtract from 18. (18 - Tdayavg) |
| Energy use intensity is: | Annual building energy use ______________________________________ Floor area |
| What are the 5 forces? | 1. Tension 2. Compression 3. Bending 4. Torsion 6. Shear |
| What are Newtons 3 laws? | 1. Objects at rest stay at rest, objects in motion stay in motion (unless acted upon by a force) 2. F=ma 3. When an object asserts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force. |
| How do you draw a load path diagram? | Start at the top. Draw down through vertical members. DRAW REACTIONARY FORCES IN FOUNDATION! |
| List holding capacities of soil from high to low | Rock Gravel Sand Clay |
| What are the 3 parts to a building structure? | Superstructure (above ground) Substructure (basements etc) Foundation |
| List the 3 main types of beam supports? | Fixed end Pin Roller |
| Name key technologies to help waterproof building foundations. | - Drainage with gravel -Draining mat (similar but just a strip) -Perforated drain pipe -Vapor barrier or damp proofing |
| Explain what a vapour barrier is and the difference between damp proofing and water proofing. | Resists moisture. Usually the installation of a plastic wrap. Should facilitate the flow of moisture to the weeping tile. Can also have Water proofing is more expensive and keeps ALL water away from foundations. Usually is a coating of tar, rubber or blue-skin that water can't get through. |
| Explain 1. Water/damp proofing 2. Weeping tile 3. Water tight barriers/slurry walls | 1. Coatings or membranes that keep water away from the foundation. 2. Gravel or mat that drains water away to perforated pipe. 3. |
| What is a retaining wall and what are some types. | Retaining wall are wall that hold back soil. Cribbing, Gabions, Rock walls |
| Name the 3 common excavation bracing techniques. | 1. Crosslot 2. Rakers 3. Tie backs |
| Ottawa foundation depth: | 4-5 feet |
| What are common types of footing failure? | Settlement Beam sheer Punching shear Bending |
| What is this? | A compliance package |
| Name and explain the 4 types of common wood defects. | 1. Check: perpendicular to the ring 2. Shake: along the ring 3. Wane: when bark is still there 4. Knot: when a branch fell off early on |
| Name the 4 common drying effects on wood. | |
| Name the two most common types of wood sawing. | |
| What are cellulose fibers and lignin? | Cellulose is bulk of the tree (good in tension) and lignin is the adhesive that holds them together (and good in compression). Wood is stronger when dried. |
| Name 3 advantages and disadvantages for light wood frame construction. | Advantages: 1. Minimal tools required. 2. Flexible (any shape of building. 3. Cheap (in labour and materials Disadvantages: 1. Burns easily. 2. Swells with moisture. 3. Unattractive (needs to be covered). |
| Name and explain the two methods for wood frame construction. | Platform: one floor, then next floor Balloon: continuous vertical members |
| Name. | |
| OBC cantilever ratio? | 6:1 (previously 2:3 though?) |
| Name the 3 types of loads on a building. Name the 2 types of pressure. Name the 3 types of force. | Static, live, self Water, ground Buoyancy, seismic, wind |
| Name the 3 types of lateral bracing | 1. X (or cross) bracing 2. Eccentric bracing 3. K trussing |
| Name the 4 nailing methods: | 1. Face nailing. 2. Face nailing. 3. End nailing. 4. Toe nailing |
| Name the 3 foundation requirements: | 1. Safe 2. Robust (will not settle badly) 3. Feasible (technically and economically) |
| Name: Mansard Gable Gambrel Hip | |
| What is an anchor bolt? What is a rim joist? What is the layer that is placed between the foundations and the wall called? | L-shaped bolt that attaches foundation to walls Joist that runs around the outside of the foundation. Attaches to the joist. Foam gasket. Used for water control. |
| What are the metal clip ons that hold joists called? | Joist hangers |
| How is lateral support added to joists? | Through cross bridging usually |
