  1. What is the primary benefit of air sealing in a building?

    Answer: Reduces energy loss and improves comfort

    Air sealing reduces drafts, increases energy efficiency, and improves indoor air quality by preventing uncontrolled airflow.

  2. Which building component has the greatest impact on thermal performance?

    Answer: Wall insulation

    Insulation plays a critical role in reducing heat transfer, improving energy efficiency, and maintaining indoor comfort.

  3. What is the purpose of a blower door test?

    Answer: To assess air leakage and building tightness

    A blower door test measures air leakage in a building, helping to identify areas where energy efficiency improvements can be made.

  4. Which factor is most important in selecting energy-efficient windows?

    Answer: U-factor rating

    The U-factor measures a window's insulation ability, with lower values indicating better energy efficiency and heat retention.

  5. What is the benefit of using LED lighting over traditional incandescent bulbs?

    Answer: Consumes less energy and lasts longer

    LED lighting consumes significantly less energy, has a longer lifespan, and generates less heat compared to incandescent bulbs.

  6. Which HVAC system feature improves indoor air quality while maintaining energy efficiency?

    Answer: Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs)

    Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) provide fresh air while minimizing heat loss, improving both efficiency and indoor air quality.
