BAP Risk Management & Mitigation 3

Question 1

What does a risk register primarily document during a building assessment project?

Accepted Answer

Identified risks, their likelihood, impact, and planned responses

Answer

A risk register is a living document cataloging each identified risk with its probability, consequence, and mitigation plan.

Question 2

A home with an attached garage poses which SPECIFIC health risk that a building analyst must assess?

Accepted Answer

Carbon monoxide migration from vehicle exhaust into living spaces

Answer

Carbon monoxide from vehicles and stored equipment can migrate through unsealed gaps between the garage and living area.

Question 3

Which mitigation measure is most effective at reducing radon entry through a slab-on-grade foundation?

Accepted Answer

Sub-slab depressurization system (SSD)

Answer

Sub-slab depressurization reverses the pressure differential that drives radon into the building through the slab.

Question 4

When a blower door test reveals a house is too tight to meet ASHRAE 62.2 ventilation requirements, the building analyst should recommend:

Accepted Answer

Installing a mechanical ventilation system to ensure adequate fresh air

Answer

Mechanical ventilation ensures controlled, filterable fresh air without relying on unpredictable infiltration.

Question 5

The presence of knob-and-tube wiring in an attic creates which risk specifically tied to insulation work?

Accepted Answer

Fire hazard if insulation covers the wiring and prevents heat dissipation

Answer

Knob-and-tube wiring relies on air circulation for cooling; covering it with insulation can cause overheating and fire.
