Question 3

What is the purpose of a blower door test in building performance assessment?

Accepted Answer

Quantifying the airtightness of the building envelope

Answer

A blower door test depressurizes the building and measures how much air infiltrates through the envelope, expressed as ACH50 (air changes per hour at 50 Pascals of pressure).

Question 4

Which insulation material has the highest R-value per inch and is commonly used in applications where space is limited?

Accepted Answer

Closed-cell spray polyurethane foam (SPF)

Answer

Closed-cell spray polyurethane foam provides approximately R-6 to R-7 per inch, the highest R-value per inch of common insulation materials, and also acts as an air and vapor barrier.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Using natural light through windows, skylights, and light shelves to reduce electric lighting loads

Answer
