25 Questions

1. The shape and structure of something as distinguished from its substance or material

2. All areas (including the frames) in the building envelope that let in light - including windows - plastic panels - clerestories - skylights - glass doors that are more than one-half glass - and glass block walls. A skylight is a fenestration surface

3. The numerical value used to indicate the resistance to the flow of heat

4. A box in which the wires from the meter are connected to individual circuit breakers - which are connected to separate circuits for distribution to various locations throughout the building

5. A structural member - usually horizontal - that carries a load that is applied transverse to its length

6. A foundation that transfers building loads into the earth well below the building structure

7. A beam supporting the weight above a door or window opening

8. A force that acts along the longitudinal axis of a structural member. Axial tension causes elongation of the member. Axial compression causes shortening of the member

9. The pipe from the water main or other supply to the water-distributing pipes

10. A condition of a frame or structure in which a slight disturbance in the loads or geometry of the structure does not produce large displacements or failure

11. The moving of soil to affect the elevation of land at a construction site`

12. A factor intended to compensate for uncertainties in design and analysis by reducing the theoretical strength of a member for use in design

13. The vertical framing member in frame wall construction

14. The two-dimensional contour that characterizes an object or area

15. A synthetic rubber material used in roofing membranes

16. A device used to measure the amount of water that goes through the water service

17. A material used to span across beams or joists to create a floor or roof surface

18. A beam that is supported on one end by a pin support and supported on the other end by a roller support

19. A measure of the probable discharge into the drainage system by various types of plumbing fixtures

20. Entrances or a means to enter

21. Pipes - typically made of sheet metal - used to conduct hot or cold air in the HVAC system

22. Nominal strength divided by the safety factor

23. An upright structural member acting primarily in compression

24. Exits or a way out

25. The ability of a structure to maintain its appearance - durability - comfort for occupants - proper function of equipment - and ease of maintenance
