Arch 421 Exam 1
Boiling Point Imperial - ANS-212F
Boiling Point Metric - ANS-100C
Freezing Point Imperial - ANS-32F
Freezing Point Metric - ANS-0C
ASHRAE recommendation for percent of tenants satisfied with the thermal environment
- ANS-80%
Six Variables for Thermal Comfort Control - ANS-Activity, Clothing, Air Temperature,
Relative Humidity, Air Speed, Mean Radiant Temperature
MET (Metabolic Rate) - ANS-The level of activity in which a person is engaged
Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT) - ANS-The uniform temperature of surrounding
surfaces with which the human body would exchange the same heat by radiation as
occurs in an actual environment
Psychrometry - ANS-The study of air, essentially the relationship of these gases with
water vapor
Psychrometric Chart - ANS-Graphic representation of the relationship of gasses and
water vapor
Conduction - ANS-The direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance
that it is touching.
Convection - ANS-The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid
Radiation - ANS-Energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or
particles.
Exterior shading devices are generally more effective than comparable interior shading
devices: - ANS-Exterior devices can intercept solar radiation before it enters a building
