Select all of the following that Trace 700 can do:
Calculate the annual and life cycle cost of a building, even yielding the carbon dioxide production (so you know how many carbon credits to buy without visiting www.algore.com)
Trace 700 invented the internet
Model virtually any building
Combine Unicorn Blood, and Al Gore's Nobel Peace prize to make an endless supply of energy
Model custom equipment for Load Design, energy analysis, and economics
Calculate annual energy consumption
Calculate the Load Design on buildings (such as Hogwarts Castle, or the Death Star, since there is no limit on building size)
To properly model standard 62 in Trace 700, it only requires selecting yes to standard 62 in the airflows template and filling in the blanks.
If the design airflow is set to 100 cfm at design, and the people AND ventilation schedules are set to 50% at noon, what is the nominal CFM of ventilation for that room at noon if Ventilation reset is selected?
Design cfm stays constant at 100 cfm
50% of the people * design Cfm of 100 = 50 CFM
50% of the people * 50% of the ventilation * 100 cfm = 25 cfm
If there is a room with a ventilation requirement of 20 cfm, and the max z ratio is set to 50%, what is the lowest possible VAV min for that room (approximately)?
40 cfm
20 Cfm
30 cfm
Rooms can be created in both the component tree view and the project tree view.
The electric Resource Utilization factor is set to 33.33. If 100 Kw-hrs of electricity are used on site, how much energy was used at the source?
100*.3333 = 33.33 Kw-hrs
100 * (1 + .33) = 133 Kw-hrs
100/.3333 = 300 kw-hrs
100 * 33.33 = 3333 kw-hrs
If each of the plants is at 50% load, what percent power does the ambient relief correspond to?
You lose points by selecting incorrect options. You may leave an option blank to avoid losing points.

If you wish to copy an alternative to change the glass type in all rooms and compare them, which option would be the simplest but would still work?
Set templates to "based on alt 1" and change the glass type in the templates
Set rooms to "based on alt 1" and change the glass types in only the rooms that have glass.
Set rooms and templates to "based on alternative 1" and change the glass type in the templates.
Set everything to "based on alt 1" and change the glass type in the templates and rooms
It is OKAY to have an archive file with a name longer than 15 characters, as long as you only change the archive name after the file is archived in Trace.
If a user went into the library and created a rate structure, and then tried to add the structure, but it was not listed under the menu, which of the following could be the cause (two correct answers)?
The user copied an existing library.
The user never exited out of the define economics tab and went back into it, and therefore never "refreshed" the page so that the menu could be populated.
Under the libraries menu, "Show T600 names" is not checked.
The user forgot to save the structure.
The economics simulation is the fastest portion of the simulation in Trace.
Trace 700 can calculate which of the following?
Building air conditioning loads
Building Energy Consumption
Annual operating cost of building.
All of the above
Trace 700 is approved for EPACT calculations.
When a floor multiplier is used, all rooms must be on the same system
If a room has a slab on grade floor, and that room has 10 rooms per zone entered under the rooms tab of create rooms, that room will be counted ten times but the floor will only be counted once.
Match the fields with the type of output they affect.
In the equation Sensible load = 1.085 * cfm * (T1 - T2), the number 1.085 is called the density specific heat product (DSHP). This number changes based on elevation and other factors. Trace uses this number to calculate the sensible load. In exercise 1, what DSHP did Trace use? (Hint: it is located in one of the first three reports in the upper left quadrant of the design reports)

The only important input in the construction template is the U value, which can simply be over-ridden.
